How many times have you asked for help on a check swing when working solo? I have.

Every time they forget there's only one of me and tell me to ask for help (or if they give me, "are you SURE, Blue?"). I then confirm my original call. I point to first and ask "did he go?" Then I say, "no, he didn't go!"

Never fails to get major laughs, as it is an oldie but a goodie.
