I'm just saying............
I don't believe it's the intitial joke, but rather the over-the-top over reactive response that moves threads out of the bar and into the alley.

If we were sitting in our favorite watering and somehow, I can't imainge why, were having this a palm-up or palm-down debate and it wasn't about self abuse and Rich wandered in and made his comment; we'd have a laugh and someone would say "Ahhhhh, f@#$ you, Rich." He'd sit down and we'd continue our agenda.

But here, Rich wanders in and makes his comment somone wants to take him outside.

I wonder how some of these paper thin skinned umpires survive a game.

I'd bet the coaches have a more difficult time lasting out the game.

Have you noticed that the "skin" is getting thinner every year? Forget our HS coaches, I'd love to get some of these guys into some of the LL's around here. Those guys would eat them for dinner!

Listen people, if you are going to be umpires and you can't take the pressure here, turn in your equipment because you'll never make it!

Peace!
