We had a fine ump around here years ago, well-respected and very competent. He did have rabbit ears, though, and when some guy in the stands yelled, "Where was it, ump?" He'd point low or something. He would also answer back when spectators shouted supposed "rules." For example, some clown would yell, "C'mon ump, he never had that ball for three seconds." This ump would yell back, "Rule 14C, Part 2: Ball was held within a subliminal radius of the motion of the forward arm." Man, did that shut them up. The players thought it was pretty funny, and we still laugh about it decades later.
