Love the first joke, like the second, and was confused by the third. Do you ever get the feeling that everyone understands something you simply can't.

Can you explain this one? I know that there are two types of bat, the animal and the baseball bat. But which part am I missing in order to understand the joke?

It took me a while to get the last one. A baseball bat that I have seen is made from wood; therefore, the cold temperature in winter must have caused it to be splited.

Thanks for that. Sometimes I look too deeply for hidden meanings
