Consider...He pitches almost as poorly as he bowls.<br /><br />Consider that a significant portion of the audience is non-partisan and will applaud for him out of simple respect.<br /><br />The general applause slowly gets drowned out by the deep and resonant boos. Then as the boos grow, you can hear the cheering and whistling get louder in response.<br /><br />I agree that a "boo" is never as loud as a cheer and nowhere close to the volume of a whistle. <br /><br />High frequency sounds are much more damaging to the ears, so the woo'ing and whistling gets your attention far more than the low rumbling of a boo. That's why you whistle for a taxi cab.<br /><br />Lance Armstrong was quoted as saying, "A boo is louder than a cheer. If you hear ten people cheering and one person booing, all you hear is the booing" <br /><br />But I think he meant that figuratively or emotionally, not literally.Hot Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848778804406692799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-75863297806337252922009-07-16T21:00:04.156-07:002009-07-16T21:00:04.156-07:00Dave - please do not insult the girls.
