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:) )
