That IS funny. Especially the "yes, it is".
I told my husband this fall during the Red Sox-Yankees playoff series that due to the large Hispanic population of New York, by law all their locally produced baseball broadcasts had to be in Spanish. Since we aren't exactly Yankees fans here, he had no frame of reference. Since I understand a little Spanish, I "translated" for him.
(I actually know baseball, not Spanish -- for all I know, half the time the announcer could have been talking about his own days in the minors in the Dominican Republic. But they'd show Pedro, and I'd say, "He says Pedro Martinez throws a psychological game. He says it's both his weakness and his strength. He says for a guy his size he has surprising power. Oh, look -- infield fly rule on that one. He says it would have been a foul ball with just another inch or so....")
When my husband found out the game was in Spanish because I had our cable receiver set to the Spanish-language option, he was less than amused with me. But that was okay as I was amused enough for both of us.
Maybe next week I will tell him Kentucky is in Wisconsin. It HAS to be. I saw it on the Internet.
