So was surprised there were no responses... for those who haven't seen it, this is a joke... check it out; it's actually pretty funny what happens..
It is funny, a pro playing with the crowd.
It's also a spring training game.
It was obviously not enough, I see he went back to work..
I had fun with a TD's wife at a tournament, we were being paid in cash. My assignment had me a few fields removed from the main area. The TD asked his wife to deliver my earnings to me. I knew who she was but she didn't remember us meeting. She approached the back stop area, one of those fields with bleachers right on top of HP. She gets my attention and I approach the back-stop, she says' "here this is for you" and stuffs a pretty good sized wad a dough through the fence.
I reach for it, but can't let it slide, I say in a pretty loud voice, "thank you ma'am and which team are you rooting for?" Got some good chuckles outta of everybody but her.. she, pales, begins stuttering and trying to to explain.. I say her name and thank her for the pay, she realizes she's been had. Leans in real close, and say's in the sternest voice I've heard since maybe 5th grade library, "that's not funny."
