I did hear one guy say ...

Anyone work without a lanyard? I worked on it all summer so I could do it during the season and not drop the Fox, and I'm happy to say I haven't dropped one yet.

However, I had an assigner at the game several nights ago and he asked for one good reason why I do it, and I couldn't come up with a good one, so I told him I didn't have any reason in particular. My personal reason is I figure everyone needs their niche, and maybe that would be mine...??? Unfortunately, I have no better reason than that for why I work without one.

What I'm asking from you is to provide me with one solid benefit to working without a lanyard. Yes, I keep a noose and whistle under my stripes for 'emergency' use, but haven't had to use it...so far!

Can you think of a good reason?
We have a group of guys that have been trying this for a year or so and its very entertaining to watch them drop it and pick it up etc.,

The reason one of our college officials gave me for doing it is that it makes him slow down. He has to take his time to blow the whistle, signal, then remove it etc.,

I didn't see how it helps at all, but that was his take.

Thanks
David
