Haven't had a chance to tell this joke in a while . . .

So this guy walks into this place in Jowja and says,"Gimme a RC Cola anna Moon Pie."

Guy behind the counter says, "Suh, you mus' be from Alabama."

Guy says, "You c'n tell Ah'm from Alabama jus' 'cause I ordered a RC Cola anna Moon Pie?"

"Yes, suh."

"How you know that?"

"'Cause this a hardware store."

(This was told to me by a native Alabaman. :D)

all these years later, "have a catch" is the most discordant phrase ever uttered in any movie, particularly one about baseball. it completely ruined what, up to the point at which it was uttered, was a movie I found to be both moving and entertaining. I still can't believe that, at some point in the movie making process (when the scene was being shot, post-production, final edits, etc.) someone didn't jump up and say, "have a catch? What in God's name are you talking about?" The phrase always should have been "wanna play catch?" Hard stop, no arguments permitted. Field of Dreams is the first and only time I heard the alternative, and I hope I never do again. I can still feel the shock and disappointment.

"There were a few issues. First, Costner and Brown talked and suggested to the director that no one says, “Want to have a catch?” at least where they grew up. You said, “play catch.” Robinson, who was from New York, where they said “have a catch,” shot them down. "
