Another Official Assaulted

[Welpe]

I got a call from a friend of mine last night on his way home from working a varsity game. Evidently one of the crew was assaulted by a fan.

During a timeout, a fan chucked a large pickle at one of the officials and hit him in the back. The home coach saw who it was, went across the floor and directed a police officer to remove the fan.

Watch it out there folks.

Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch that featured a flying pickle?

Mrs. Doubtfire says, "It's a sit-by pickling!"

Wasn't a pickle. Wish it was.


"Is that a pickle in your hand, or are you just unhappy with the call I just made?"

Had some idiot tossing M&Ms at me between quarters a couple of years ago. I ignored it. An officer spotted the 3rd flying M&M and removed the offender.

Plain or peanut?

And...did you hear about the blonde who was fired from her job in quality control at the M&M factory? She kept throwing out all the W's.

I knew you were going to make that joke.

Some things are consistent enough that NASA could use them to set their clocks.

Gross ... I hate pickles! Might have thrown the guy out just for eating one near me!!

At one school in Houston they used to throw pennies on the floor ... we were always warned not to pick them up because the kids would secretly hold a lighter to them before tossing them out on the court!!

Heard through the grapevine that some guy locally got punched in the face in between City Rec games.

Twenty bucks a game sounds a lot worse when you factor in the "could get punched in the face tonight" possibility.

Charges were pressed.
