The Pitcher's Picture
A little tongue-twister skit inspired by the hilarious acts of Danny Kaye (hence the names of the two players).
The Pitcher's Picture DANNY and KAYE meet. DANNY is holding a picture depicting a baseball pitcher in the act of throwing a porcelain pitcher. DANNY: Hi, Kaye! KAYE: Hello, Danny. Say, nice picture. What's it of? D: Well, it's a picture of a pitcher. K: A picture of a pitcher? DANNY nods. What's he throwing? D: Well, the pitcher that the pitcher is pitching has a picture of another pitcher painted on it. K: The pitcher in the picture is pitching out a pitcher with a picture picturing another pitcher painted on it? D nods: Actually, he's a painter. K: The pitcher is a painter? D: No, no. The painter's pinch-hitting for the regular pitcher who cut his hand on a glass pitcher while pouring punch. K: Then why is he pitching out the pitcher? D: Because he doesn't like the painting. K: The painter-turned-pinch-hitting-pitcher is pitching the pitcher because he's not pleased with the picture painted on it? D nods: The pinch-hitting painter is pitching the pitcher with the painting at the other pitcher who's not pictured here in the picture. K: The pitcher who cut his hand on the glass pitcher while pouring punch? D: No, no. He's pitching the pitcher at the pitcher pictured in the painting. K: The painting on the pitcher? D: Yes. K: So the pitcher in the picture who painted the picture on the pitcher is pinch-hitting for the pitcher who cut his hand on a glass pitcher while pouring punch and is pitching the other pitcher- the one with the picture painted on it- at the other pitcher- the one who's not pictured in the picture- because the painter-turned-pinch-hitting-pitcher isn't pleased with the painting on the pitcher in the picture? D: Precisely!! K: What a pain. THE END (hopefully it's all spelt right )

Cute!
Reminds me of the classic Abbot and Costello routine "Who's on First." If you've never heard that, you should look it up. It's absolutely hilarious!

Yeah, I have heard 'Who's On First?' They just don't make humor like that anymore. Every time I hear it I laugh sooo hard!!
