Just Curious,
LOL..not sure exactly what personal hygiene (sounds funny) was demonstrated, but I think I'd laugh about the "I am ref" thing. I don't think I would have taken the scorpion away - just adding fuel to the fire. If I was truly offended or felt that it was extemely unsportsmanlike, I might tell my assignor or ref board after the game and let them deal with it. IMHO, it is outside the scope of what I am at the gym to do.
A student had a duck call at my game last weekend and I asked gym management to take it away, but only because "artificial noisemakers" are specifically outlawed in the rule book. I saw a kid with a ref shirt and some big Harry Carey glasses in the front row of one of my games last year. At a time-out, I put on his glasses and then said (so most of the students could hear), "man, I can see WAY better with these on." They got a big kick out of it and left us refs alone all night.
