A sad/funny one about another umpire I worked with...
I'm on the plate, parther in "A", right-handed batter.
Pitch comes in low and batter checks his swing.
I call "Ball".
Catcher asks me to check with partner on the checked swing.
I step out from behind the plate, point to my partner and ask, "Did he go?".
My partner gives me a deer in the headlights look, stands there for a few seconds and then....shrugs his shoulders!
