So if no foreign substances are allowed, then that means the entire officials' uniform has to be made in America??

Ouch
I tried it last night and Vaseline on the bottom of my shoes didn't really ehance my ability to call a game or stay standing.

I can't imagine putting Vaseline on my shoes when those silicone sponge things are so cheap and easy to use.

That was probalby due to lingering nitrogen narcosis.

Amen to That
I narced pretty good during my advanced open water certification...I get that same sense of euphoria when officiating and twice I swear I saw a turtle swim by during the game. I have only seen sharks or the sideline though - usually circling on either side of the scorer's table.

I was diving once and thought I saw a guy in a suit/tie with a clipboard decending past me wearing concrete fins. I didn't think Apollo made their biofin in that material, DUI made drysuits resembling a sport suit, and there were dive slates that big with rectangles and cirlcles predrawn on them. I thought I had to be narc'd. When I surfaced, there were a bunch of guys in stripes standing on the pier. Didn't think anything of it at the time....now you make me wonder.

I have known people do do this along with shoe polish to add to a shine. I have also seen people use baby oil as well. I even used a little baby oil with one of those shining pads and it works. What ever works I guess.
Peace

Buffing a thin layer of Vaseline onto shoes that are made of Corfam or patent leather will give one a temporary shine, but Vaseline is sticky and will collect dust and there goes the shine you wanted. note: Corfam is a patent leather like material, that members of the police and military wear, that do not need shining. Anybody who is in the military wouldn't be wearing dress uniform shoes made from Corfam until he is out of bootcamp because one needs to learn how to spit shine shoes so that one can see his reflection in the shoe.

Surely I'm allowed one tangent out of every 1000 posts.

And an impressive, (to me) unintelligible tangent it was!
Far be it from me to permit or forbid anyone posting anything, but I do reserve the right to comment.
