    -Does the period go before or after the quotation marks?

    I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but am I the only one?

    What constitutes a balk in baseball?

    Why, when a batter strikes out and the catcher drops the ball, does the batter run to first? Isn't he already out?

    What the hell is the "trade exception"?

    Why do teams do "sign and trade" deals?

    What does "icing" mean in hockey?

    What is a "hat trick" in hockey?

    Why won't Salma Hayek marry me?

    the 8 inch penis is normal but not common. the One half inch one is not normal or common. But having two penises is definetly not normal.

    -They've watched a lot more baseball than you, and are often former players themselves. (Hell, you can tell a curve from a fastball, can't you?)

    -There is no overarching rule in English, though I'm sure certain disciplines have their own guidelines (AP style, et al). Just put it before, with commas too, since a comma after a quotation mark looks stupid.

    -Can you think of any big-breasted pros?

    What makes a wet towel darker?

    A batter can run to first because they made a rule for just this situation. I guess it has to do with the catcher having to completely catch the ball, otherwise the batter's not out, so he can run to first....

    A hat trick is when someone scores 3 goals in the same game. Just like in soccer or lacrosse.

    Salma Hayek won't marry you cuz she doesn't know you exist ;)

    oh yeah, and the trade exception is the exception to the trade :D

    According to my knowledge of hockey via "Ice Hockey" on NES...

    Icing constitutes when one team slaps the puck all the way across the rink and then the other team recovers it.

    Barbie needs her friends because she'd rather play with them than the people who buy her.

    General Failure is General Electric's brother.

    If you get scared half to death, then you're half dead from then on. Then you get scared another half to death, so you take half of the half that's left. Therefore you've got 1/4 left. And so on and so on. You never get completely scared to 100% death by being scared half to death all the time.... Just get scared to death and that'll do the trick ;)

    I personally wouldn't use a silencer... IF you use a silencer, would he think it's a mime bullet and only pretend to die?

    Yes you can wave a fan club. But then everyone looks r****ded standing up and waving their arms one after another down the line....

    yes.

    If the Batter strikes out but the Catcher drops the ball and then that batter runs to 1st, then the next batter up strikes out.

    a 3rd strike on a batter gets away from the catcher and the hitter reaches base. Despite him being on 1st; it still counts as a strikeout.
