It’s a moldy old eppisode of Car Talk. (Why does that sound like “It was a dark and stomy night?”) ANYWAY…they started out with a joke about …Hard to explain. It ended up as “No runs, hits or errors at the base.” But that was the joke. The words had to do with somthing Roman…Am I making myself clear?  
  
  
  
 Anyone who can write the joke out or tell me where I can get it would be greatly appreciated.

Try listening the the show online at the [cartalk.com](http://cartalk.com) home page. You will be able to pause the show and listen to the joke repeatedly and write it down.

There’s no explaining it. You either get those things or not.
