"Funny" Cricket explanation

I remember seeing once an "explanation" of Cricket, full of contradictions, like "The man who is in, is on till hes out, then he comes in, and the guy who is in goes out and is on", etc.

Anyone ever seen this and knows where I can find it?

Man I don't know how many variations I typed into to Google but I found these, +/- the same with some differences:

The Rules of Cricket

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have got out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

# You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
# Each man that's in the side that's in the field goes out and when he's out comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
# When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
# When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
# Sometimes, there are men still in and not out.
# There are men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
# Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter if they're in or out.
# When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished
