20/20 had a report called “The Science of Seduction” and discussed the various ways that millions of Americans will take to find their “match” this year. This reminded me of something and I’ll share it with you.
A few years ago, I met some friends for dinner. After dinner, several of us were involved in a discussion, including several married couples.
Somehow, the topic changed to dating and meeting, and someone mentioned “baseball” and all the guys laughed. One of the wives asked for an explanation and that started a description of “getting to first base”, “getting to second base”, “getting to third base”, and “ “hitting a home run”.
One of my married friends said, “Hey! I got to first base once!” He married his high school sweetheart and had been married for about thirteen years.
His wife added, “Yeah, but it was a fielder’s choice!” He just stared at her with his mouth open and an I-can’t-believe-you-said-that look.
The rest of us laughed, but it was doubly funny because she’s not a “baseball” person. As far as I know, she still thinks that baseball games have “quarters”, not “innings”. It’s funny when she talks about staying at a game until the “ninth quarter”.
Come to think of it, all of my base hits were fielder’s choices.
Hmmmm.
