What makes them anymore intelligent when they compliment you?

What if they email you to say you suck?

[just another ref]

There are two times when many fans compliment an official:

1. Immediately after their team wins: "Good job, Mr. Ref!"

2. When you weren't even there: "Wish we'd had you last week. Those
guys were awful!"


This is not always true:

1. "We beat all 7 of them!"

2. "The guys last week were almost as bad as you!"

Believe 'em.

Your fellow officials would never lie to you.

That was your mistake in giving them your email!

I tried that once. She said, "Hey. My eyes are up here."

That reminds me of the old Sat Night Live skit with Kristy Alley (before she blew up),,,,Aliens come down to earth and all the female aliens eyes are no longer on their faces, they are on their breasts. They claimed they mutated because that was the only way they could get their men to look them in the eye. One of the funniest skits ever.

Hey, that's the skit where the scientists ask the aliens if they see better when it's cold outside? That was hilarious, one of my all-time favorites on SNL.
