Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man, is this a point? ;)

Not even close! "Who's on first" was a pre-WW2 radio comedy sketch that they performed two decades earlier, and was named by Time magazine as the best comedy sketch of the entire 20th century. It is a story about a baseball team full of people with interesting names, "Who" being the first baseman. Hence, Who's/Hu's on first (base). "What" was the second baseman, "I Don't Know" was the third baseman, "Tomorrow" was pitching today, and "Today" was the catcher.

@Uwe - Per the meme, I guess that I qualify as an adult now..... :D

PHILLY POLICE SCANNER REVEALS HORRIFIC SCENES IN PHILADELPHIA AS FANS RIOT AFTER SUPER BOWL VICTORY

BY CHANTAL DA SILVA
ON 2/5/18 AT 5:11 AM


Between stolen horses, burning Christmas trees, calls for Homeland Security and reports of multiple injuries, the Philadelphia police faced all-out mayhem in the hours following the Eagles' Super Bowl win on Sunday.

The hashtag #PhillyPoliceScanner was trending on Twitter overnight as riots broke out across the city and people tuned in to hear chaos unfold in real time.

"We have multiple people on Broad Street swinging on light poles," one officer could be heard reporting on the police scanner at around 11:14p.m., according to Slate.

“They just flipped a car over here," another said.

“I need to get the fire extinguisher out of my trunk," an officer chimed in. "Someone lit a Christmas tree on fire.”

Another officer said he had arrested a man claiming to be an "off-duty cop."

At some point, two police horses were reported to have been stolen, with one of the horses quickly recovered.

So far in Philly tonight: a police horse has been stolen (one recovered), an off-duty cop has been arrested, Looting at Macy’s, countless people on light poles, Ritz Carlton awning has collapsed, and the rocky statue will likely fall by the morning. #phillypolicescanner

Alongside the lurid and the surreal, messages relayed over the scanner system suggested far more serious incidents, with one officer stating: “This is extremely horrible. We need rescue here, we got someone horribly injured from a fall.”

"A guy in a four-wheeler just ran over a cop," another officer alleged.

One responder said: “A man jumped off the light pole and landed on his head.

Rioters also appeared to take over Philadelphia's City Hall, with images shared on social media showing fans climbing the building's gates.

Video shared on social media also showed chaotic scenes, with Twitter footage showing the awning of the Ritz Carlton hotel in Philadelphia come crashing down under the weight of a group of revellers who had decided to climb the building.

Classless eagles fans. The owner of this Hotel is gonna be mad when they see this in the morning. #EAGLES#ritzcarlton

Police reportedly had to call in help from SWAT teams, Marine units and even requested assistance from Homeland Security and the National Guard.

One exasperated officer said over the scanner: "It’s endless, chief. Endless."

The last tweet sent out by the official Philadelphia Police account congratulated the Eagles on their win—and asked people to "please be safe out there."

^^^^ These reporters don't understand the difference between a celebration (during which a a few people did stupid stuff) and a riot.

Sorry, but that's not a riot.
