Idle Ramblings of a Slightly Mad Man

My sister in law is at it again.  She is on a roll lately.  Her latest Donnaism comes during a conversation yesterday about the Philadelphia Phillies.  The discussion was about how the Philadelphia Phillies have been playing very well lately and how they are in the race for the playoff hunt. 

She turns to me and asks “How can you say that.  They have been playing really bad.  They just got their 10,000th loss this season.”

I responded back “Donna, that just shows the longevity of the team.  Other professional teams have not been around as long as the Phillies have.”

“Yeah, but they were a different team” she replied. 

“Huh?” the other family members look at each other lost

“What does it matter what the other Phillies teams did?  This one got the 10,000th loss” she says completely serious.

[insert roar of laughter here]

“Donna, the Phillies did not lose 10,000 games this season.  Hell, they have not even played that many games in your life time.  For this team to get 10,000 losses they would have to play about 1000 games a day.” I tell her.

“Oh, I thought they were all from this year”

[insert more hysterical laughter]

 She kills me.  She really kills me. 

Folks, I can not make this stuff up.  I am not this creative.
