King Tut
Another solution would be to always have Steve Martin serving as a table official.

Pasted image by BillyMac no doubt forthcoming.

Or not to Tut..... that is the question.
Ran some V scrimmages yesterday with the whistle switch, I think I'm gonna like it! Didn't have to look over at table, and got every AP correct.... This is a keeper. Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys!

Though if we could get Steve as a table official, I'd lose the switch..

My only suggestion is to be careful. If the officials working the games you want aren't using it, you might not want to use it.

A good point Snaqs and thanks. The switch itself is barely noticeable under the whistle, and I didn't let on to my P's yesterday that I was using it.

What about using a flesh colored rubber band on your wrist? Might be able to switch that faster than a whistle?

I tried to resist, but two things made me post it. First, this is one of my all time favorite Saturday Night Live performances. Second, many of our younger Forum members have absolutely no idea what Freddy, and shavano, are referring to. Martin performed this skit on April 22, 1978. How may Forum members weren't even born yet? We all can be sure that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. was alive. He was sixty-five years old, and ready for retirement, at the time of the skit.

Sorry, an image just wouldn't do it justice. "Goggle" it when you get home.
