I realize that I am a bit late to this one, but I have a joke that I played on a fellow official that you might like.
I was working a state tournament and had met some really good guys there and we became fast friends. We were up late every night and watched each and every game there. I was working the girls state championship game before the boys game. Before the game started, I told some of our fellow officials of my idea.
We needed to find the local constable and get him in on the plan.
Anyway, what I did was tell the police officer after the 1st quarter of my game to go up to this official and tell him that he was going to have to leave the gym until after the girls game was over because the officials on the floor were distracted by his presence at the game. At the end of the quarter while we were waiting for play to resume, my partner and I are doing the best that we can to keep our laughter inside as we watch the interaction between the police and our new buddy. The look on his face was priceless as he was asked to leave. The police officer took it a step further and had started to escort him out of his seat and down the stairs. He got halfway down when he looked at me and I winked. He laughed pretty hard when he realized what was up.
