4. Obama is so FAKE busted ...
However, it was no FAKE that John McCain left his wife and three children.

11. You are so out of touch!
Tetherball and its sister sport "Kick the can" are hugh in the heartland! Me and Joe 5-pack (can't afford 6 any more) play all the time.

12. The "T" is for "TEE" what the ball sits upon...
It's no-pitch so little kids can hit, run, throw, catch, crash into each other and just have fun game.

Maybe he was growing "tea", or having "tea parties".....
