character witness

How does someone get the name of an official from a rec league game that happened a couple of years ago?

How does the official remember the (seemingly minor) incident with enough clarity to testify about it?

Maybe both the wife & the official keep journals?

Things on my not to do list:

1. Go swimming in a piranha tank.
2. Scale the fence at Gator Land.
3. Lay down on a railroad track.
4. Pee on the third rail.
5. Get in the middle of a divorce proceeding.

From the first (2003) season of "Mythbusters": Although it is possible to electrocute yourself by urinating on a third rail, you would have to stand unrealistically close to the rail to do it. In most instances, a urine stream would break into droplets before making contact with the rail.

A friend of mine received a jolt when he acted on a dare to pee on an electric fence. I'm not removing that from my list.

From second season (2004) of "Mythbusters" Episode 14, "Myths Revisited":

Urinating on an electric fence can cause electrocution. Upon retesting the myth on an electric fence it was found to be plausible, but the rail was still busted. Distance was the factor, as the urine stream breaks up less at the close range needed for urinating on the fence than urinating on the third rail, thus ensuring a direct line of current between one's body and the electrical source.

They have electric fences in court? That settles it. I ain't going.

Billy Mac, I guess you could try it and let us know how it worked out.
