A Street Joke Comes to Arlington
October 25, 2011
Although they didn’t know it at the time, when Scott Feldman, Ian Kinsler, and Mike Napoli made their respective ways to the pitcher’s mound at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington last night, they were fashioning the set-up to a hilarious, and only probably slightly offensive, street joke.
The set-up to said joke definitely goes like this: “Two Jews and an Italian walk up to a pitcher’s mound.”
As for the premise and punchline, I know less about those, but I’m guessing it has something to do with their mutual admiration for pastrami.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Actually Feldman, Kinsler, and Napoli head the Texas steering committee for the post-World Series win celebrations and help decide such things as what phrases are used during the toasts (Salut vs. Mazel tov) and the type of food served which, in this case, is Meat Balls vs. Sliders….
