Of course it wasn’t league play, and it involved a lot of beer.

I even considered the joke; I just wasn’t quite sure how to work it in.

Melvin — hey, the way things are going, only adults will play dodgeball, because schools are dropping it either out of political correctness or fears of litigation.

You wouldn’t happen to have a copy of it, would you?

Typical, old enough to fight for your country, but not old enough to play kickball.

(Even NFL players and the guys from “American Chopper” have played dodgeball on various episodes of their shows.)

If it isn’t, then sanctions are due.

I was at my son’s baseball game at one of those big baseball mega-parks we have here in the southwest and sure enough they had flyers up everywhere for their adult kickball league. They even had pictures, from which it appeared that beer was fairly integral to the sport.
