Fair ball - fowl ball

First there was stick ball - then half ball - then pimple ball. (Well, OK, I'm not sure about the sequence but you get the idea.)

Now meet fowl ball.

The story is actually horrific and shouldn't be made fun of (but I'm weak!). Two poultry farm workers in Norfolk (is this a good time for an inbreeding joke?) have been sentenced to 200 hours of community service for playing baseball with live turkeys.

It has been suggested that they wanted their barrister to argue in their defense that it wasn't baseball but rounders.
