once upon a time near a Kansas farm.....

...the old farmer was plowing his field. A mile down the road the farmer could see a young man, who happened to be a street-smart attorney from the city, stop his car, get his shot gun from the trunk and proceed to enter the farmer's field for a day of wonderful hunting. After a few minutes a shot rung out and the farmer saw an airborne duck plummet to the ground. The farmer immediately drove his tractor down to the Lawyer's car, where the young whipper-snapper was proudly carrying his prey over the fence to the car. The farmer says "this is my field and i gave you no permission to hunt on it or even be here. Please give me the duck and leave my property." Well, the lawyer stopped with a quck response "I am an associate of one the largest firms in the city and could sue you and tie you up in court for a long time. I am taking the duck. I shot it and it's mine. There is nothing you can do about it." So the farmer says "Listen, young man. Out here we settle things the old fashioned way. If two men disagree, we simply take turns kicking one another in nutsack until one gives up. Once that happens, the argument is settled. Do you have the courage for such a thing?" The lawyer thought to himself....i was one of the toughest guys in school and am still pretty good....."yes, i can handle that, old man", yelled the lawyer. So the farmer got down from the John Deere, walked up to the young lawyer, swung back his strong leg and planted his heavy workboot right up the middle of the lawyer's legs, with a force you could hear from 300 feet away. The lawyer dropped to his knees in pain. Sweat covered the upper part of his body and he felt faint. But within two minutes, he managed to rise to his feet, gain some composure and announce " ok, old man, get ready cause its my turn now". The farmer then turned away and headed for his tractor saying "No, you can keep the duck".

First Bog post

A thought, maybe for your website so other readers could have input:
Lets say you have two baseball teams. Lets call the first team the "Republicans". They have a philosophy that promotes self-accountability. Maybe a work hard, work smart, get more, type thing. And lets call the second team the "democrats". This team works but maybe with a little less accountability. If someone works hard and smart maybe they should be sharing with the ones who don't work so hard type thing.
Now, the game starts. It is the bottom of the Fourth inning, the score is 7 to 6 in favor of the Republicans. Two outs and there is a man on second. The pitch is made and the batter hits a line drive down the third base line.
In this particular situation, I have two questions:
If the ball sticks in the face of the third baseman, is the hitter out?
If the runner on second has a wooden leg, can he take it off, set it on the base and simply hobble over to third?
Thank you for your response to these thought-provoking situations.
