Favorite joke of my late grandfather A British man comes to America and decides he needs to do at least one really American thing before he leaves. He decides to go to a baseball game. After a couple of innings he thinks that he's got the gist of it and when the next batter hits he stands up in his seat and says ""Run swiftly my man, run swiftly!"" This continues on for sometime, until the pitcher throws four balls. The batter throws down his bat and the British man stands up and starts, ""Run swif-"" a man in the seat next to him nudges him and says ""Hey, he didn't hit the ball, he got four balls."" The British man stands up and yells, ""Walk proudly my man, walk proudly!""
