Chuckle - tonight I'm the timer

At the table tonight, reading over the instructions to timers:

"Electric clock timer and one stopwatch, or a table-clock timer and one
or two stopwatches. A gong, loud siren or electric air horn to signal the end of playing time."

Now that would be fun.

I wish American Idol would take that approach in the prelims.

In the case of having none of the above, or technical difficulties, having a fun PA Announcer do the buzzer or horn sound over the PA. <-Had this happen at 4A Regionals.

I can hardly wait...

I seriously cannot stop laughing at this... I would so love to do this at a high school game and see what the other ref's say. If they start barking I'd pull the rule book and tell them that it's my responsibility to use said gong and give it a whack just for the heck of it..

Of course though, it's not in the NFHS rule book but your own customized set of rules pertaining to your league

Concerning the equipment listed for a timer:
Electric clock timer and one stopwatch, or a table-clock timer and one
or two stopwatches. A gong, loud siren or electric air horn to signal the end of playing time. When present, a red/LED light is permitted to end a quarter or extra period; otherwise, the audible signal ends the quarter or extra period.

What's the most interesting horn/buzzer you've heard?

Concerning the equipment listed for the scorer:
Scorebook, pencils, possession arrow and signaling device with sound
different from that of the timer.
The scorebook must be available for
inspection at the table from 10 minutes prior to game time until the
referee has approved the final score.

How often does this actually happen where the scorer has their own horn/buzzer?
