Late this season, I'm working a ms boys game, and in pregame I notice a home player with identical bandaids on each ear. I call him over and ask, "what's under the bandaids?"

"Oh, it's just earrings."

"They have to come out if you're going to play."

"But they said I could play with them if I taped them over."

"Sorry, they were wrong."

Since I didn't care at the time who they were, I didn't bother to ask, but I do sort of wonder who "they" are.
