Absolutely never ask your partner on a straight play, even if you realize you blew it.

I disagree with this last bit of "advice." Going to your partner when you think you might have missed a call will a)give you an even longer time to think over what you might have seen, and b)give you the insight of another person who you can rely on that might have seen something you may not have, but will for sure help you in any way possible. The point of umpiring is to get the call right, not to save face.
