Yeawen

What exactly is a slide rule?

It states that if there are runners on base and a fly ball is hit to one of the basemen or the shortstop, with less than two out, then the batter-runner is automatically out, and the other runners must stay at their bases. Oh, and they have to slide.

Crow, that's the "infield fly rule"...um, mostly.

I thought that was when you tried to tell someone their zipper was down in public.

That's the X-Y-Z rule. Well, it's not really a rule as much...

Wait, wasn't that an undeclared naval war between France and the United states in the late 18th century?

Tom Servo

Crow, that was the XYZ Affair.

Oh...wait, what was the original question again?

You know, I honestly don't remember.
