Buttons are cute when they're little smiley face buttons that talk in a little Santa's elf voice.

Because they somehow got mixed up when the Army moved to different quarters. And Generally theres not a Major difference.

2. No. The fence wins.

Actually this is accurate. If a player does not cross home plate the run does not score. Hitting a homerun over the fense only enables you to get to home without the other team stopping you.

If you watch all the walkoff homerun highlights there is always a homeplate umpire standing to watch for the player getting mobbed that he actually touches the plate. If he doesn't, the run wouldn't count either.

--
Actually, the CORRECT answer to THIS one is that buttons are "cute", just not on our clothing. On women's clothing, buttons are usually delicately designed, especially if it's a business suit or semi-formal wear. They have intricate designs and many of them vary. They are considered "cute", hence the phrase, "cute as a button" alluding to when buttons were commonly "cute." $\:D/$
