The guy was from another association. My partner indicated since overtures had been made to the school by his assn, that it would be best to not make waves.

Just tonight, in fact. A um....friend....yeah, friend, of mine was at a minor league hockey game sitting close enough to hear the players cursing at each other. My friend may have gotten a little too into the game and may have yelled at the linesman a little bit after one of the visiting players essentially sat on a home team player and held him down on the ice.

My...friend...now feels guilty and has to go to referee penance.

It's Lent. Don't we all?

This is in addition to my Catholic duty.

As an observant biblical Lutheran, I have chosen to give up giving up things for Lent.

A guy and his girlfriend were making out on the couch. Things were getting pretty hot and heavy when, all of a sudden, he pulled back and stopped. She said, "What's wrong?" He said, "I really can't, honey. It's Lent." She said, "Oh, OK......wait - to who and for how long?"

It must be the poor grammar that makes that humorous.

Obviously she was blonde.

A beautiful, young, redhead goes to the doctor and claims that her body hurts when she touches it. The doctor says to her, "Impossible. Show me." The redhead takes her finger and pushed on her knee, screams in pain, touches her elbow, screams again. Then she touches her stomach and screams once again. Last, she touches her ankle, and once again screams in pain. Basically, everywhere she touched, she screamed in pain. After seeing what the redhead had said was true, the doctor says, "You're not a natural redhead, are you?" "No, I'm really a blonde." The doctor, replies, "I figured. Your finger's broken."

My Catholic joke is that "for Lent, I am giving up abstinence."

Our pool handles a lot of games for smaller schools. At one of these schools, the book-keeper is an elderly gentleman who has done it for decades. Sometimes when reporting a foul on "his" team he will shake his head in disagreement- once, last year, he watched me report the foul, then waved both his hands at me in disgust.

How would you guys handle this scenario?

/thanks!

Speak with the AD. Or, if you are part of an association, have your commissioner speak with the AD.

I would mimic his gestures. Whenever he would make one, I would stand in front of him and make it back at him. He'll quit doing it pretty quickly.

A few years ago, I had a scorekeeper removed when he refused to mark a technical foul in the book for a player who had used profanity. He said the player was his grandson and his grandson would never swear. What world is he living in? He put down the pencil, crossed his arms across his chest and shook his head from side to side. He gone.

Talk to your assigner, if applicable. Find out what's expected. Typically, I'd give him one warning to straighten up, then have him replaced if he doesn't. However, it seems as if you might be rocking the boat unnecessarily if you do that here, so some discretion might be in order.
