The recreational director of a mental hospital wanted to take a
well behaved group of inmates to a baseball game. The
General Manager of the club was a little leery of this. When the
Recreational Director said: “If I prove to you how well behaved
they are, will you let them in?” The General Director agreed.
The group of inmates came in and sat down. The
Recreational Director shouted:
“Stand up, nuts!” Everyone stood up.
“Sit down, nuts!” Everyone sat down.
“Look behind you, nuts!” Everyone turned around.
Pleased with that, the General Manager let them in. About the
third inning or so, he heard a tremendous commotion! People
were running helter skelter. He asked what happened and
was told that someone had called out: “Peanuts!”
