1. They prefer to be called _LITTLE AMERICANS_.

2. They all got out in the same little bitty car. You should have seen them all getting out of it- it was the cutest thing you ever saw!  
Jehovah’s Witnesses are unfortunately left behind, but for the first time the doors they’re knocking on aren’t getting slammed in their face.

They’re in the fifth innning, and the score is Plagues 10, Dwarves 7.

Why invent reasons for something that we don’t know even happened?

Now standing at the plate: Dopey. Dopey is 1 for 3 with a walk and a single.

Sleepy is in the on-deck circle. Actually, he’s lying down in the on-deck circle.

Boils looks in to get the sign. Here’s the windup and the pitch.

Dopey hits a sharp line drive to Cattle Disease. Cattle Disease makes a nice play and fires over to Killing of the First Born.

One away.

Now the coach of the Plagues is yelling at Sleepy to wake up and take his turn at bat.

What a game!

Yes. The secret Jewish prophecy known as **CNN**!
