New lease of life in sports humour

So TOH and I were watching news the other day and Usain Bolt was on explaining how he plans to retire maybe after the 2016 Olympics in Rio. When asked about future plans Usain said he may consider international cricket!

Me: How can Usain Bolt play cricket?

TOH: He is Jamaican...
Me: So?
TOH: Jamaicans can play cricket...look at Chris Gayle

I was as confused as you are because that analogy is as bad as Sachin Tendulkar is Indian, I am Indian so I should be able to play cricket too. Anyway TOH can be weird sometimes. 

Me: Ok...but who would ever want to play cricket with Usain Bolt?

TOH: Yeah, just imagine the batsman at the other end would always get "run out" get it? <laughing and very proud of his joke>

Me: I know! Imagine if Usain Bolt got hurt while playing...who could ever be his runner! I mean seriously...Usain Bolt's runner <laughing uncontrollably and of course super proud that I could now make a cricket joke, which surprisingly was spontaneous too>

TOH: <Blank stare> Don't try so hard...it's ok. You should let the joke end naturally, not so forced.

Oh c'mon like really! I am totally pro natural death of (most) people or jokes but that was such a natural extension and so awesome too. Its not like prolonged death but a new lease of life don't you think?

I think TOH is just feeling a little out there because sports was his arena now I am totally stealing his thunder by making kickass jokes. 

Hmph!

What do you think? It was a good one right?
