Player Equipment
Last night I was working a girls varsity game. The lead called a shooting foul, so I switched him out and the girls were lining up for the free throws. I heard a giggle and some of the players started backing away from the key. I look around and what do my eyes see? A TAMPON is right in the middle of the key! I yelled at the ref who was nearest the table to grab a towel and he gives me the what the hell look, I repeat it as his eyes go to the offending blob. He locks up and just stands there. The scorer holds out a large roll of paper towels. I went over and grabbed the roll. While I was walking towards the problem, I wound about 50 layers of towel around my hand. (Picture an oven mit times 3) I packed the escapee way out from my body over to the trash can which happened to be at the end of the home team’s bench. All the girls and both female coaches were watching me. As I chucked it in the trash can I say, “I thought these things were tied in better than that!” I go back to administer the free throw and one of the girls says, “somebody’s not wearing underwear” We finish the game with no more escapees. In the officials’ room we’re talking about every male’s nightmare, and I asked the guys if they think the crowd could tell what it was that was on the floor. My friend says, “they knew because when you were packing that thing off, you could see a 6” white string hanging straight down!” I think from now on in my pants pocket I’ll carry a pair of those Trojan gloves the doctors use for my annual physical! LOL

Incredibly Embarrassing Moment, The Sequel ...
With the benign title Player Equipment, I thought that Loudwhistle2 was going to post about jewelry, headbands, undershirts, sleeves, or wristbands. I definitely did not see the real post coming. Let's see if Nevaderef can come up with a relevant casebook play from his archives.

The Clock Is Ticking ...
Thirty-five years. About 40% girls games. Not one similar incident. Should I be worried?

That wasn't me, but I do have a similar story. I was working a men's wreck game and the two teams came out for the opening jump. I noticed something was sticking out of one of the player's ears. I went over to him and told him. He grabbed it, looked at it and said, "OH NO! IT'S A SUPPOSITORY!" He started yelling. I told him it was no big deal and to calm down. He replied, "You don't understand - I just realized where I put my hearing aid!"

This! IMHO it would fall under the bloodborne pathogen precautions - get game management to deal with it.

Not Distracted By The Misdirection ...
Once again Adam sifts through all the extraneous information and comes up with the simplest, most rational, and most reasonable, explanation. Once again, may I state that magicians probably really hate Adam. Nothing distracts him from the truth.
