>> An institution for the mentally ill arranged for its inmates to attend a
>> baseball game. The director spent days training the patients to obey
>> his commands so there wouldn't be any trouble. The day of the game was
>> bright and sunny, and the group arrived just before the first pitch.
>>
>> When it was time for the national anthem, the director yelled, "Up,
>> nuts!" and the inmates immediately rose.
>>
>> When the national anthem was over, the director yelled, "Down, nuts!"
>> and the inmates sat. The game proceeded, and the inmates were well behaved.
>> When the home team made a good play, the director yelled, "Clap, nuts!" and
>> the patients applauded just like normal fans.
>>
>> Things were going so well that the director left his seat to go get a
>> hot dog and a beer.
>>
>> But when he came back, there was a riot going on. The director finally
>> located his assistant and demanded, "What happened?"
>>
>> "Everything was fine," the assistant said, "until some guy came over and
>> yelled, "Peanuts!"
