This one comes from Pat.
A man from London who had played cricket all his life emigrated to America. He married an American woman and together they had a wonderful little family, a boy and a girl. He really wanted to become immersed in the American culture, and because cricket is not unlike baseball, he tried out for a local baseball team. They couldn’t use him, but they invited him to officiate their games. And of course, he accepted.
When his children were toddlers they would often sit on his lap to hear bedtime stories. But, as they grew older, only his little girl liked to do that. He was confused and asked the advice of his wife.
She replied, “As someone from Old Blighty, certainly you should know
“The son never sits on the British Umpire!”
Slightly OT: Sadly, the sun is setting on the British Empire thanks to years of uncontrolled immigration. Obungler is certainly leading the way for the US, too.
You’ve got that right. Obungler and the Dimocrats want to turn this once great nation into a Third World shithole. I don’t think we’ll recover from the ravages of FDR, LBJ. and Obumbler, a long line of Dimocrat presidents who have contributed to the destruction of our once great republic.
This pun is definitely a “stickey wicket” and should be awarded a LBW penality.
I grinned. One of the best in quite awhile.
I heard that one around 1965 or so, but with a slight difference. The man was American but subject to occasional fits of violence, and was referred as “The Brutish Umpire”.
