who is who

Xanthul · 06-04-2002, 05:11 PM

Well lately im using the nick "who" when i play Counter Strike, and it reminds me of something i saw in the film "Rain man". In that film, dustin hoffman´s character was always amazed by something he watched in TV, i think it was a humorous sketch where a baseball player´s name was "who", and dustin hoffman couldnt understand that.

Well what id like to know is, does someone know anything about that sketch or whatever it is ? Im just curious [img]smile.gif[/img]

PD: dunno why, but i guess that probably Yorick will know

The name of the routine is "Who's on first?" if you do a google-type search on Abbott and Costello or the title, you should be able to find a transcript somewhere, or better yet, a recording. Timeless bit of humor, that.
