Title: A baseball
Post by cheesepuff on May 22nd, 2008, 5:44pm
A little boy threw a baseball as hard as he could at his television in front of his parents. For some odd reason, however, his parents were not angry. In fact, they were elated. Why?

[hide]Because they didn't think he could?
If Stephen Hawking could throw a baseball at his TV, I bet his family would be happy too.[/hide]

Hahaha omg that's horrible ;D but at the same time oh so funny (I know, I'm going to go to hell for that)
Because the son is a [hide]major league pitcher and with the blazing 100+ mph fastball just struck out the best hitter in the world to win the World Series[/hide]?

Because [hide]he's only a year old, so "as hard as he could" is unlikely to do any damage to the TV[/hide].

Because his parents were on TV.

Or it was his television. His parents have a bigger TV, and TV is a bad influence. They prefer that their child reads books instead of watching television all the time.

The kid was throwing AT the television, he was not on, so no to all the answers so far.

However, some of you are starting to get on the right track

Really?  On my brother's Wii we usually just pantomime the throwing motion.  So how does this baseball thing work?  I just wing the ball quick as I can?  Hang on I'll go try it out.
