The team I seen before lost by about 20 points.

I tell her nicely that I don't give my name out to fans, and she's screaming at me,
Ref18, I always give my name, and my assignor's name and number, all written on a little piece of paper.

We're told not to do this. If they want to get in touch with the association, it's up to them. We're not to help them in any way.

My wife is a middle school principal. She has had idiot parents swearing at her in her office. After consulting with the school attorney and the local police officer, she now files disorderly conduct charges against the culprits. No one should have to put up with that behavior.

Pull out your camera phone, take their picture and say; " stop now or I'm going straight to the police". shrug, maybe they'll stop, shrug

True story - partner spoke to a crazy lady who harrassed us during the entire game and called us "pieces of garbage" afterwards who needed to be reported.

Partner (with a deep southern accent) - Ma'am, I'll certainly give you my name, but my parents were Russian immigrants so I have a name I'll have to spell for you:

Y-u-r-i D-u-m-m-b-i-c-h

She wrote it down and never figured it out. She actually called our assignor and told him that the Russian official and his lousy partner should never work again.

As long as we're staying "clean" here -
Chuck Roast
Pete Moss
Bob N. Forapples
Russ Etpotatoes

(for Juulie)
Sue Baru
Barb Wire
Polly Wanacracker

If you really want to throw somebody off, give them any name you want, but begin it with "Special Agent".

Yes, Yuri had that bullet in the chamber, just waiting for the right opportunity to use it.
