Another Official Assaulted
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.

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

Wasn't a pickle. Wish it was.

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.
