this reminds me of a weird story from a few years ago, sans the russkie. while at a beer league softball game, i'm jogging out to left field and notice these two female asians, one pushing 60 and the other in her early 20s. well, they have these two, young huskies, couldn't have been more than 6 months old. well, they're way of training the dogs involved hitting the pups with a tennis racquet. the girl on my team playing in left-center has turned completely white in horror. so, i go over and tell them to stop. the younger asian pretends to not understand english. the older woman tells me to go pound sand. i tell her if i see her hit the dog again, i'm calling the police.

i go back to the game. halfway though the inning, she's hitting the dog again with the racquet. i go over and tell her one last time to stop. she takes a swing at me. at this point, the softball teams, mine included, is seeing what's transpiring and is completely bewildered.

as i go to get my phone to call the police, as fate would have it, one of the guys on the other team was a local cop. the 60 year old lady was arrested for disorderly conduct.

we won that game by like 50. in my 6 years on this team, we've lost once.

enjoyed the story and, I believe because of its tangential relevance, my favorite line is the last one

also enjoyed Mammoth Nacho Platter story. You're rolling, Savior
