never before seen incident...

[angryZebra]

7/8 boys game, YMCA, 1:03 left in the 3rd Qtr. as my partner is ready to administer the FT, I see a gum-resembling splotch in the semi-circle. like ive done in the past with all gum on the court, I go over and nudge it with my shoe to see if it just comes right up so I can kick it off to the side of the court. also realizing that gum is not usually BROWN!, I should not have taken my chances.... because it wasn't chocolate either. I didn't even bother to sniff it. I looked over at the scorekeeper, had him stop the clock. I asked him to come clean it up and my partner made a nose-blowing impression, and
i said, nope...this came from the other end.
we never found the culprit, I just chalked it up to an invisible monkey in the stands.
