Gut point.
I’ll B”N skip eating tomorrow (at least until nightfall).
[English is inconsistent. “Gut” in this case should be pronounced like “put”, not “putt”. It can also be spelled “Goot”, in which case “took”, “book” and “brook” would be correct – not “food” “boost” or “loot”.]

This one had your name written all over it:
Finally, some love for a perfect number
The Giants have an upcoming promotion in which they will give away Buster Posey replica jerseys, featuring the name and number 28 of their impressive rookie catcher. Posey’s number has a uniquely unremarkable history in baseball: it is the only number between 1 and 37 that is not retired by any major league club. Go ahead, try to name the most famous number 28 in baseball history. Bert Blyleven? (Alas, he also wore number 22, with Pittsburgh.) Rip Repulski? Andy Stankiewicz?
Why such a bland history for such a perfect number? That’s right: the only perfect numbers available to ballplayers are 6 and 28 — numbers that are the sum of its divisors. Football has four retired 28s: Abner Hayes, Willie Galimore, Curtis Martin and Marshall Faulk. Who knows, maybe Posey is the perfect guy to wear the perfect number.
