				Speaking of whistles
			 
 
			
			When I work with a female ref, I always ask which whistle they will be using.  If they use the mini-fox, I  switch to the mini-fox.  It just seems uniform for both our whistles to be the same.I carry two Fox and one mini to all games.
 
 I'm a lanyard guy.  I called last night with a guy that doesn't use a lanyard.  I tried that, about 10yrs ago, when my smitty broke.  Ended up spitting my whistle on the floor every call......
