Italians Say “No” to Baseball

From Fox News:

Italy’s Court of Appeal has issued a new hands-off landmark ruling — outlawing men from scratching their crotches in public.
The ruling says that blatant scratching or holding is “an act contrary to decorum and public decency.”
Superstitious Italian men often hold or touch their private parts for good luck when they see a hearse or to ward off bad luck, the equivalent of touching wood in Britain…
The man’s $304 fine was upheld and he was ordered to pay $1,521 in costs.

There was no comment offered by Roseann Barr’s publicist.

    I had thought to ask if that should that read: “… do as the roamin‘s do”? but upon further review it seemed a bit of a stretch. Wouldn’t want to wander too far.

    I believe it was the venerable Confucius who noted that he who swings a big bat rarely strikes out.

    Which brings us right back to baseball!

    And women are permitted to touch where, what, when ever they please? Obviously, they must not have a Roseanne Barr problem like we do.
