                                                                 TO BUNT OR NOT TO BUNT

                                    Bea and John dropped by a few nights ago,
                                    and almost immediately we began discussing               
                                    the recent suspension of Reggie Jackson, who
                                    who bunted when he should have hit away.
                                    
                                    "You see, John, what happens when the players
                                    willfully disregard a manager's orders?"
                                    "Right, Right."
                                    "If only Donna and the kids would follow my                                                                       to the letter, and stop trying to talk and think so         
                                     much, there would be alot more teamwork around                                                               here."      
                                     "Honey, if you and John are going to carry on with                    
                                     your silly baseball conversation, then give me some
                                     money so Bea and I can go shopping."
                                     "No."
                                     "No, what do you mean, no?"
                                     "See what I mean, John. every time I try to save 
                                     a little money around here, I come off looking like                        
                                     a penny pincher."
                                     "Bea, how many wives do you know who would 
                                     put up for this sort of thing, for more than twelve                      
                                     years. It's not that I'm going to file a grievance suit                                                             it's just that I've always had to say 'Yes Sir' to him...
                                     even on our honeymoon!" 
                                     "There seems to be a communication disconnect
                                     here, John."
                                     "Honey, if you don't give some money right now, 
                                     I'll give  you a suspension you'll never forget."
                                     "Okay, here"s your money. Go."
                                     "Well, Morgan, you certainly handled that with                      
                                     great diplomacy."
                                     "Well, John, a good manager has to know when
                                     to hit away and when to bunt."
