Truly Embarrassing Moment ...

[crosscountry55]

Hasn’t happened to me yet, but if I do it for a lifetime, it probably will eventually.

I have blown a whistle clear out of my mouth a couple times. One of those times, without even thinking about it, I yelled “Whistle, whistle, whistle!” That got some good laughs.

Then there was the one time several years ago when I forgot to put my spare whistle in my pocket. As Murphy would have it, that’s the night my Fox 40 went lame duck on me, and I had to sheepishly run into the dressing room to get my spare, which probably took 30 seconds but felt like an eternity.

Second year I officiated, I tried to go without a lanyard like the "cool guys". Spit the whistle out onto the floor several times in the first period. Between the first and second period I got the site director to open up the locked locker room so that I could get my lanyard. Quoth the raven, nevermore.
