We don’t have to leave just yet for the nursing home so we’re watching the Yankee game. The commentators get into this conversation about eating M & Ms and then they show the bullpen and a couple of young pitchers are sitting in there eating sunflower seeds and whatever. One guy is shoving a wrapper into an empty water bottle…. I guess when they’re not pitching, they have to find ways to amuse themselves.
So the commentators are talking about how they have all sorts of snacks in there and then one guy says to the other (who used to be a pitcher), “What was the candy of choice back in your day?”
“Jolly Rogers.” We caught the mistake before they did, when the guy realizes he meant “Jolly Ranchers.”
Well I just thought it was funny and I feel a responsibility to share any remotely funny story with my fans.
And this is one of the many reasons we, your fans, love you so much. Your giving, sharing spirit. Excuse me while I go have some Chips Ahoy Matey cookies

Yeah, it was remotely funny. Very remote.
