Like kazoos. Last year, ncaa game, nice crowd, security comes to me on court during a TO in the first half.

Me: (What the...kazoo? Who the hell can hear a kazoo in here) "Well....it's only legal during a dead ball."
She: "That's what I thought...(turns to upper rows of bleachers) "HEY!!!!! YOU!!!!! YEAH YOU GUYS!!!!! YOU CAN'T BE BLOWING THOSE KAZOOS IN HERE!!!!!! GIMME THOSE DAMN KAZOOS BEFORE I TOSS YOU OUT OF HERE!!!!!"
Me: shrug
