No need to imagine things, when the real stories are just as good. There's a jr. high that I see every year around here that had new jerseys last year. Quite a few have illegal numbers, which are overlooked by all around here. Watching warmups, I remarked to the coach, as I pointed at number 72, "You know you have a bunch of illegal numbers." His answer (this takes care of everything) "We used these jerseys last year." I saw the team again a week later, and I noticed that one of the numbers on the 72 jersey was covered by tape. I asked why. The coach answered, visibly annoyed, "'Cause you told me it was illegal!"
He had taped over the 2.
