I swiped something today

[yertle-the-turtle]

I'm reading Garfield Sobers' (famous West Indian cricketer) autobiog and he wrote about how when he was a kid he used to play cricket with a tennis ball.

Anyway I was cycling past my local tennis court today and someone had knocked a ball out of the court. I swiped it and decided to practice bowling and catching before it rained and I went home and I took a long nap.

I woke up feeling guilty so I rode back to the court, which was deserted by now, and I threw the ball back in.



edit: Oh yes, I should also confess my cricketing skills are dire. In fact, you might say they are non-existent.

I just wanted to say I think it's so cute that you rode back and threw the ball back in

Seriously, you must have a good moral character

 

[TripThruUreWires]

forget strong moral fiber,

it probably just comes down to the fact that he's a Singaporean.

you do realize, mrs. springsteen, that one can in fact 'hang from the gallows' as a result of swiping someone else's tennis ball here in singapore, don't you? it's an offense slightly less severe than negleting to flush a public toilet.

I'm glad I'm not that way


good luck



( (semi-inside joke, but not really))



To be serious........

well, I guess it could have been worse. You could have thrown it at someone while they were playing tennis.

not that I'd really endorse such a thing

I'm betting your skills aren't dire. This is the more important point in this thread, yertle.
