nerves

[Charles Doyle]

Last night on TV I watched an exciting (though finally disappointing) game between Jonathan's Ladies Who Volunteer to Play Softball and the team from the University of Arizona. At one especially tense moment, the commentator exclaimed, "Wow, I've got nerves all through my body!"

(It occurred to me that in softball or baseball, a batter can be ON DECK and yet never get ON BOARD!)
