Help me cheat on this office quiz. I have no clue as to the answer.

My guess is it’s five to four (clock at 3:55), one out (drop in the glass), runner on second (exposed breast = “second base”). I don’t know what the toilet represents. Gotta be the count on the batter in my scenario, but I can’t figure it out.

Five to four, bottom of the fifth, one out …

Full count for the last one?

I didn’t look at any of the other answers, but here goes.

5 to 4 in the top of the fifth with one out and no one on.

It’s 5 to 4 (o’clock), bottom of the fifth (of scotch), one (hooter) out, nobody on (the can).

I like this answer the best so far, but I’d say it’s clearly the bottom of the 5th.

Then they shouldn’t have included Morgana the Kissing Bandit and her liquid courage (and of course, the aftermath).

Of course!

It’s 5 to 4 and after draining a bottle of whiskey, a women runs on the field in the buff. After being escorted to the security office, she pays for her prank gone awry by worshipping at the throne of the porcelain god.

The ensuing smell causes the umpires to pass out and the game is called with the final score 5 to 4.
