Baseball In Hell

"Echoes"

Friend of mine named Dan hates to lose at golf.
He was in a foursome when his ball landed in
a sand trap.

Hidden from view, the rest of us could hear him
as he hacked away at the ball.

When he finally drove it out, and rejoined us,
I asked him how many strokes that was.

"Three." he replied.

"Oh come on !" said another member of the
group. "I heard six."

"Three..." replied Dan, "were echoes."

"Baseball In Hell"

St. Peter and Satan were having an argument
one day about baseball.

Satan proposed a game to be played on neutral
grounds between a select team from the heavenly
host and his own hand-picked boys.

"Very well," said the gatekeeper of Heaven. "But
you realize, I hope, that we've got all the good
players and the best coaches."

"I know, and that's all right," Satan answered,
unperturbed, "We've got all the umpires."
