At one point during a game, the coach 

called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked,

Do you understand what co-operation is? What a team is? 

Yes, coach, replied the little boy.

Do you understand that what matters is whether we win

or lose together, as a team? 

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

So, the coach continued, Im sure you know, when an

out is called, you shouldn't argue, or curse, or attack the 

umpire, or call him an *******. 

Do you understand all that? 

Again, the little boy nodded in the affirmative.

The coach continued, And when I take you out 

of the game so that another boy gets a chance to play,

 we dont call that 'a dumb-ass decision' or that it means

 that the coach is 'a ****head', right?? 

Yes, coach. 

Good, said the coach. Now go over there and

explain all that to your grandmother.
