I'll start.

Usually, I get a good line at a game I'm working, but I say this qualifies.

In late January, I had a season-ending ITB injury (off the court). When you go into a tournament on crutches, and people know you, you get a lot of outstretched arms and "what happened?" looks. I usually broke the ice with the line "I T'd up the wrong coach." This usually got a laugh, except once.

One of the stat guys is a local town police chief and occasional partner. I give him the standard line, and he staunchly looks me up and down.

"Well.... if I were your partner, that wouldn't have happened, would it?"
