I know I've posted this before, but it fits with this thread and we have some newbies, so here goes.

A few years ago, I was working a 6th grade boys game in our local kids rec league. Just prior to the start, one of the players came up to me and said, "We have to take off all our jewelry, right?" I nodded and looked at him. I didn't see any jewelry. He then said, "So I have to take off my nipple rings, right?" Notice he said "rings" in the plural. At first I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't, so I just nodded again. He turned to his coach and said, "Coach, I have to go to the locker room for a minute." He then left the court.

My partner turned to me and asked, "How would you like to be that kid's dad?" My reply was "Uh, no".
