I had an interesting problem last Sunday. It is the 2d inning of the first game of a U-16 Girls doubleheader. I am working alone. At the end of the inning I notice that my fly is open. I discretely try to "zip up" and lo and behold the zipper is broken. I have no extra pants nor safety pins. I fool with the zipper between innings and it seems to work. At the end of the third inning the fly is open again. I then go to the belachers to try and "solve the problem". I announce to the folks in the bleachers that my zipper is broken, to hopefully prevent a 911 call to report a sex offender, which draws a sigh of relief and laughter from the parents. Eventually I fix the zipper with offers of help from several folks in the bleachers.
Any comments on how I could have better handled (no pun intended) this problem?
