Chewing Gum

[Jurassic Referee]

"Yes,Coach Knight,I realise that there are only 10 seconds left in the game and that you're down by 2--but your 3 best shooters are all chewing gum,and they will all have to leave the game immediately!"

Yup,I think that I'd pay to see some bozo try to call something like that!

WOW!!

Z-man, Long weekend?

No, actually I did three games today and they were all as smooth as butter. But I thought this thread had become way too serious and could use some sarcasm.

Unfortunately, Z, you screwed this up. Being headless is simply one form of a concussion. So he doesn't have to sit if he can get a note signed by a doctor.

Which team, Team A or Team B, at that time, was ahead a head?

That's a heads-up observation Dan. Move to the head of the class!

Nah, I just work the bowl these days, I usually get one of the new guys to scrub down under it. Saves a lot of wear
and tear on the knees.

BTW, looks like this new topic is picking up a head of steam...

Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor
on the bedpost over night?
If your mother says, "Don't chew it!",
Do you swallow it in spite?

I was reffing a rec game today and A1 goes in for a dunk while chewing gum. While in the air, he blows a bubble and the G-forces and wind resistance cause it the gum to wrap around his neck. On his way down, the gum gets caught in the net and he gets decapitated. The coach of Team A called time-out to try to keep his headless player in the game, but I felt that since he had lost his head he should have to sit until the clock ran. Then I realized that it was cinnamon gum so I called two technical fouls. I used the elastic powers of being the referee to apply the fouls as indirects against the head coach and sent him packing.

Did I get a little too militant? :-)

No - that's the problem with sugarless gum! If you had regular gum, this wouldn't have happened!
