[b[One quick joke in the pregame can go a long way in the game in terms of approachability[/b]

Do you have a standard list of jokes that you use and have found to work? An officiating buddy likes to tell the girls in the pregame "if you dunk the ball don't hang on the rim." I tried that in my last game and it went over real well. The season following 9/11 I explained that I was not Osama Bin Laden so i was not the enemy. The next season changed from Osama to Sadaam Hussein. Those seemed to work too.
