¿José o Wally?
« on: July 02, 2009, 10:10:44 am »
Indians shortstop Jose Osoria, who signed for $575,000 last year, [...] real name is Wally Bryan and that Bryan is 20 years old, three years older than he had presented himself.

There's a Dominican dude named "Wally Bryan?"

Was thinking the same thing when I saw it (then again I wasn't aware 'Ivan' was a popular Latin American name either, so what do I know...).
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

Very popular, for both sexes.

I figured this wasn't about José Jiménez or Wally Cox but I had to look to be sure.
I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

You're thinking of Czechoslovakia I think.

So, a woman, age 86, dies in her sleep and awakes, standing in line at the Pearly Gates.  There are 60 or 70 people in front of her waiting to talk to St. Peter.  When she finally gets to the front of the line, St. Peter asks her a question.  He says, "There is one simple test required for you to gain entrance into Heaven.  Answer this question; how do you spell 'love'?".

The woman quickly blurts out, "L-O-V-E".  St. Peter smiles and says, "Welcome to Heaven, c'mon in".

A year later, the woman's husband of 60 years dies.  He awakes to find himself in line at the Pearly Gates.  By this time, his wife has become acclimated to Heaven, done a good job doing heavenly things and has been promoted to be St. Peter's assistant.  As her husband nears the front of the line, St. Peter goes on break and leaves the wife to perform the entrance test.  The husband is astonished and pleased to see his wife standing at the gate asking people questions and letting them into Heaven.  When he finally is first in line, the husband exclaims, "Mabel, I'm so happy to see you!".  She replies, "Nice to see you too, Harry.  I assume you've been watching and know how this works.  Your question is; how do you spell 'Czechoslovakia'?
Another trenchant comment by a jealous lesser intellect.
