I'm glad somebody reponded to my post or I would have had to come back with a legitimate answer.

For the most part, everyones' responses to my posts were right on the money ( or so it would appear ). I just wish we could get those answers right away instead of all the garbage that goes on in between. Garth and Tee have finally given us good definitive answers and their advice sounds solid. Any chance we can get that advice from everyone without all the criticism in between? It makes for much more enjoyable reading.
( By the way . . . . please do not follow my advice in my post. That was my j o k i n g that others alluded to doing earlier. Any ridiculing or criticism you get will be well deserved! )

While interesting and possibly new to this venue, your strategy is hardly unique. I've employed it with my wife for years. Whenever she points out that something I've said is horribly stupid. I come back with "I was joking. Honest, I was just fooling with you." Not only does it get me off the hook for that dumb comment, but it sets up all future dumb comments to be written off as "intentional."
I never thought of using it in umpiring, but you've
shown that it just might work.
Thanks.
