NOTE FROM DAVE:

Since the Sci-Fi Channel is running
the new “Dr. Who” series, and Abbot and
Costello are timeless, we thought we’d
combine the two and see what happens.

The Top 9 Reasons
Dr. Who’s NOT on First

9> TARDIS? He plays Left Field!

8> Because Dalek Jeter threw him out.

7> He used the psychic paper to convince the umpire he’d already won the game.

6> Used TARDIS to skip first, pick up What and I Don’t Know, and then arrive at home before Today throws the pitch to Tomorrow.

5> Because Stargate’s on first, Who’s on second and Galactica’s on third.

4> He’s too busy mucking around with Yesterday and Tomorrow.

3> All because of that unfortunate incident in “Abbot and Costello Meet the Daleks.”

2> Because Rose just doesn’t see him that way.

and the Number 1 Reason Dr. Who’s NOT on First…

1> Because his current companion had already let Lazarus Long get to first base. And second. And third.
