Against my better judgement
The other day I was working a men's "alumni game" at a high school. Now, normally, I'm a proponent of the "the less said the better" school of officiating and quippery, but guys were being pretty good-natured and everything was a little loose. One player didn't like a call, and said at the next dead ball, "just for the record, that was terrible."
My response: "Your play or my call?"
He just looked at me. His teammates (we were in front of his bench) had a good laugh at his expense.
I was happy just to be that quick-witted for once. I'm no Mark Padgett, you know!
