I can dish it out, but.......

.....can I take it? We'll find out. My son Josh just told me today that he has registered here and will be posting soon. So, all of you who have been waiting to get the real dirt on my so-called career as an official will get your chance.

Oy, vey.

BTW - this morning Josh and I were working rec together for two games, but had to split up for the third. He told me he T'd a howler monkey in his game and used a Davism just for gravy. Maybe he'll post it.

I used one later in the afternoon with a fan who offered my partner the use of his glasses. I yelled back, "Why - they're not doing you any good." Pretty much all the parents from the other team laughed, and a lot of them from his team, too. Thanks Juulie, for that one.

After the game, this guy tried to confront me and my partner as we rushed out, but we got out the door really fast - but not before he said something about the foul count. Since the guy looked about 200 pounds overweight, I shot back over my shoulder as we left, "You'd better hurry too. The truck scales are closing soon and you'll miss your weigh-in."

You're welcome. And since you credited me, I won't charge you royalties.

I kinda figured that the Josh Padgett in newest members was your son.

Of course, knowing how you get, I also thought it could have been a joke by someone other than you - "Mark, you are my father!"
