Sally walks along beside Linus, who is holding a football. The latter says,"Okay, this is what we'll do..."<BR><BR> He turns to her and continues,"You go down to the end of the field, and I'll kick the ball to you." She says,"I'll be all alone down there..."<BR><BR> He shows her the ball and exclaims,"You won't be alone...the ball will be with you!" She asks,"What if it doesn't show up?"<BR><BR> He says,"It'll be there...I'm going to kick it to you." She looks to where he is pointing and asks,"What if I go all the way down there, and I get mugged?"<BR><BR> He replies,"How can you get mugged? We're the only ones around here!" She says,"That's what you say!"<BR><BR> She asks,"Another thing....so I walk all the way down there...how do I know you won't run off and leave me?" He walks off exclaiming,"Okay, forget it!" She says,"No, that's all right...I'll do it."<BR><BR> He watches as she walks off concluding,"My mother warned me that football was a risky game."<BR><BR>
Boy, Schulz sure mentions getting mugged a lot. Did he think it was funny or what?
