i used that line on a coach when he claimed that i missed a pulled foot on a play at 1st (the foot, if pulled, was behind 1b, which is why i couldn't see if it was pulled or not).

Coach: "he pulled his foot!"
me: "coach, that's a $73 call."
coach: "you've been practicing that line, haven't you?"
me: "it's not a line, coach. It's the truth."
me: "at least somebody around here has been practicing."

fify.
