Two old men, Bob and AIf, were waiting in line outside a stadium.
They were waiting to get into a baseball game.
They were both poor and could not afford to watch the game from the best part of the stadium.
They were in line to get into the cheapest section where they would have to stand all the time.
Baseball games were the only pleasure they could afford, and they went to a game every week.
When they reached the gate where a man was checking tickets, Bob showed his ticket and was allowed inside the stadium.
AIf started looking for his ticket.
He looked in his trouser pockets.
He looked in his jacket pockets.
He even looked in his shirt pocket.
The man checking the tickets became impatient.
"What's that in your mouth？" he asked.
"Ah！" AIf exclaimed. "It's my ticket. I knew I had it somewhere."
He took the chewed and soggy ticket out of his mouth and showed it to the man at the gate.
"O.K., O.K." the man at the gate said. "You can go in."
When AIf was inside the stadium, Bob said, "That was a stupid place to keep your ticket."
"It wasn't so stupid," AIf said. "1 was chewing off last week's date！"
