Tony Auth demonstrates the subminimal awareness that is so typical of the press any time they address a topic you actually know something about.
How do you think the conversation went?
Editor: Hey TA, can you do me up a nice one on Barry Bonds and the steroid controversy?
Auth: Who?
Editor: Barry Bonds.
Auth: Who is he?
Editor: Left Fielder for the San Francisco Giants.
Auth: and steroids? Yeah, I can do that. Will a Thursday run work for you? I can have it ready by then.
Editor: That's great, thanks.
Auth: Pleasure doing business with you.
Editor: Oh, Tony?
Auth: Yeah?
Editor: Bonds is black.

I think the fact that he drew Bonds as a righty hitter is what amuses me the most.
Inigo Montoya: You are wonderful.
Man in Black: Thank you; I've worked hard to become so.
Inigo Montoya: I admit it, you are better than I am.
Man in Black: Then why are you smiling?
Inigo Montoya: Because I know something you don't know.
Man in Black: And what is that?
Inigo Montoya: I...am not left-handed.
Man in Black: You are amazing.
Inigo Montoya: I ought to be, after 20 years.
Man in Black: Oh, there's something I ought to tell you.
Inigo Montoya: Tell me.
Man in Black: I'm not left-handed either.
