Kudos to partner for funny comments

[Mark Padgett]

Two nights ago I had HS rec tournament games. One was a girls game and one was a boys game. In the girls game, apparently one of the girls had the nickname "Buttercup". Her teammates kept calling her that all game. My partner asked her about it prior to a free throw and she said yes, it was her nickname. He then told her he had a nickname. She asked him what is was. He replied, "Margarine cup". Of course, if she would have asked me for my nickname, I would have said "Weaselpants".

Later, the volunteer dad clock operator let the clock run during a free throw. The coach whose team was trailing yelled, "The clock's still running!" My partner looked at him and replied, "And.....your point?".

I got to work with him again the next morning but he didn't have any good lines that day. I asked him why not and he said his quota is two a week. I said, "Two a week? Good lines or girls?" He didn't even get it.
