When I show up at a site I always walk up to them to shake their hands saying, "Gee? I thought, for sure, that they would send good officials for this game tonight?".

Last season, when I walked into a site, I discovered that three (that's right, Connecticut is slowly moving out of the Dark Ages, we use three officials for games at the state quarterfinals, and above) of our most veteran officials were assigned to the game. I said to them, "What did they do, assign the three oldest officials in the state to this game?", to which the referee replied, "No they assigned the three officials with the least amount of hair". He was right, they were three baldies.
