I walked out to center court wearing dark sunglasses and used a white pole whose one end had been painted bright reflective orage (it was one of those poles that are used to mark the edges of sidewalks so the campus groundskeepers could plow the sidewalks). Everybody but the team the eventually lost the game did not appreciate my humor. Even the head of intramurals thought it was funny and very apprapo (boy I hope I spelled the silly French work correctly).
