Boy, ain't it the truth!? Game last night, I was u. Partner gave the whole speech -- "no arm bars, no hand-checking, etc etc"

Rainmaker: At the risk of sounding really dumb, I am going to ask you what "arm bars" are. I'm sure we have them in Massachusetts, but I have never heard that term.

By the way, I HATE long speeches at captains' meetings. Like: who has contacts, asthma, inhalers, diabetes?, play the black line all the way around, don't stop if you hear the horn-just the whistle, keep it clean, hands off, no hand-checking or rough play, be sure to get out of the lane before three seconds, no jewelry, hair clips, shirts tucked in, wait for us to beckon subs, have fun, let's have a good game. Any questions, LADIES (or GENTLEMEN)? (another pet peeve)

Players rolling eyeballs to ceiling and yawning. Wake up partner. Toss ball.
