I know how you feel. I came up with what I thought was a great Chicago joke that was PERFECT for the game situation. Unfortunately because the Cubs lost, my joke never got a single response. The situation was that the Cubs were trailing by 4, when Troy O'Leary hit a home run off of Marlins pitcher Josh Beckett. My joke was "Maybe Mr. O'Leary's (Holy) Cow has just kicked over the Beckett that will start the Great Chicago Offensive Fire of 2003!"
I HATE it when I work so hard on a joke and nobody notices. But I guess the Cubs subsequent loss because the focus of the rest of the thread. Oh well.
