I believe this is a joke without a real "victim"--unless one regards the Scotman's ignorance of baseball as an
attack, which I don't.

And I'd love to get your responses first--whaddya think?

1. Is it funny? 2. Does it work without having a scapegoat?

A man moves from Scotland to the U.S. and attends his first baseball game. After a base hit he hears the fans roaring, "Run! Run!" The next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands up and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: "R-r-r-un, yahbahstard. R-r-r-un!" A third batter cracks a hard liner and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screams "RRRun, ya bahstard, rrrun, will ya!" The next batter holds his swing at three and two and as the umpire calls, "Take your base!"

The Scotsman stands up, yelling "RRRun ya bahstard, rrrun!"

All the surrounding fans giggle quietly so he sits down
confused.

A friendly guy, sensing his embarrassment, whispers "He doesn't have to run, he's got four balls."
