Knowing the rule is good for three reasons:
1. Post-game bar trivia.
2. Because some genius always thinks it makes for a good test question.
3. That "as often as the Cubs win the Pennant" moment when there's a double whistle and somehow you and your partner both report a different foul to the table without realizing the other is reporting something...and now you both have something.
