Hi,
Not too weird but I found it funny

A 14-year-old bowler was attacked by a batsman he had just clean-bowled as violence erupted during a cricket match in Cambridgeshire, a court heard.
Batsman Michael Butt, 32, admits assaulting bowler Joshua Fay, now 16, but denies assaulting his father, Edward, and a further charge of affray.
Butt's brother, Andrew, 43, denies affray, assault and damage to property.
The incident took place during the game at Elsworth, in August 2004, Cambridge Crown Court heard on Monday.
Jurors heard how Michael Butt, from St Ives, had his off-stump knocked out after hitting several sixes off Joshua.
Batsman 'flipped'
Joshua, who gave evidence via a video link, said: "I bowled him out and I was walking back down the wicket and I just said 'hit that' under my breath in celebration.
"He turned around and said 'What did you call me? You called me a tosser'. I couldn't reply because he was behind me and to my right."
Joshua, who plays cricket for Cambridge St Giles, said: "He just flipped and lost it. I have never seen anyone act like that before. Just the look in his eyes."
The court heard Michael Butt then hit the teenager in the back with his bat and punched him several times.
Joshua's father, Edward Fay, and the father of another teenage player were also attacked, the court was told.
'Insulted' opponents
Michael Butt's counsel, Lynn Tayton, suggested Joshua was annoyed because "he's (Michael Butt) a bit of a slogger and knocked a couple of sixes off your bowling".
She also suggested that members of the Cambridge St Giles team had insulted their opponents.
Miss Taynton said Michael Butt had punched Joshua, but claimed Joshua had punched him back.
Joshua told jurors that he would not take on someone "twice his size".
The incident happened during a match between Cambridge St Giles and Elsworth village.
The hearing continues.
