Even when you know "they're only kidding," (they are kidding right?)
it still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck when the whole gym chants, "Find a tall tree, and hang the referee."

They must be kidding, 'cause they always laugh after they say it.

I'm reasonably sure they're kidding.

BRB, there's somebody at the door.

One of my favorite stories, from a ref in D.C.

Ref had to bring his son and daughter to a game, and they were both fairly young at the time. He told them to sit in the stands, and to not tell anybody that their dad was one of the refs.

Well, tight game towards the end of the fourth quarter, there's a collision in the paint, and this ref calls a charge that goes against the home team. The crowd starts chanting "Kill the ref!" and he looks for his kids to make sure they're not too upset by this.

His kids were chanting along with the crowd.

LOL...my favorite chant is "Hey there ref, short and stout. Find your head and pull it out."

Chuck's not stout. He's 4'14" and 126 pounds of dynamite.

With a half inch wick.

That is the ultimate in camouflage!!! Hopefully he congratulated them for doing such a great job of maintaining their cover.
