I may be a father, but I'm also a nerd

Last week, on Sunday, the little girls, Susan, and I went to watch the Astros play for Father's day. It was great; the Astros whooped the Marlins and all was well with the world.

But me . . I'm a nerd. There I am looking at the outfield. Noting how they have the distance from home plate painted on the wall. And there, next to 404 feet is a advertisement. An advertisement for a wireless company! I poke my wife with an elbow and point it out to her. I'm all ready to laugh uproariously with her and share the joke.

Maybe she didn't notice. So I point out the number. And I point out the advert. . . .

"404. Wireless company. Page cannot be found. PAGE CANNOT BE FOUND!!!" "Get it?"

Well, *I* found it funny and this house has enough nerds as it is I guess.
