Respect Your Volleyball

So you thought that the ball you were about the throwaway could go right in the trash? This is the ball that has served you to victory numerous times. The ball that never once asked was for anything other then to be played with. Therefore before you carelessly toss the ball into the trash or kick it into the bushes, think, this is the ball you carried around in your car, back pack and even into your home or office for months if not years, your volleyball never said it was to cold, mentioned BTW it's raining...... or "you know it's hot out here -- mind getting me out of the sun".

Your volleyball has severed you well and you are just going to disrespect it!

VBLI CODE - Title 11 Section 1

FUNNY! I've still got all my older balls. And don't know what to do with 2 new ones in boxes which are the old outdoor ball. Anyone have use for these relics?
