Another Home Run


          A local community club was organizing a baseball team. They could
          only muster eight players, and were hard  put to find a ninth. In
          desperation,  they called  on  a  new  member,  a  very  reserved
          Englishman who had just moved  into the neighborhood from London,
          to join their team. During  their first game, the Englishman came
          to bat. On the  very first pitch, he knocked the  ball out of the
          park. The team members stood there, dumfounded! Unfortunately, so
          did  the Englishman. "Run!" his  teammates cried. "Run!" The Brit
          turned  and stared at  them icily. "I jolly  well shan't run," he
          replied. "I'm perfectly willing to buy you chaps another ball."
