WE'VE been using Celadrin Cream on our sore muscles

just 10 minutes so you can run pain free.

WE'VE also been taking fruits and vegetables in a capsule
to improve our immune system (no colds, no leg cramps, more
sustained energy).

BOSS,

Is that the Royal "we" that we are using?

NO! NO! NO! Coaches may never call a timeout. They may only request a timeout. Only the officials on the floor have the authority to call timeouts.

JR - you know how nit-picky (read: anal) I am about this.

Mark, I know you think you are being smart on this one, but if we are going to be nit-picky OR anal:

There is no definition in Rule 4 for "call", "request", or "grant". So we'll have to use the dictionary definitions. The interesting one is definition 1b for the word "call" at http://www.m-w.com: to make a request or demand

Rule 2-7-6 says that the officials' general duties include "Granting time-out." The word "grants" is also used in 5-8-3. 5-8-3 is "Grants a player's/head coach's oral or visual request for a time-out..."

So I'd say that a player or head coach "calling" time-out is, by definition, a "request", and the officials' duties are to "grant" that time-out CALLED by the player or head coach.

Nothing further, your honor.

Glad I could help you editorialize. I'd like to stay and chat but Juulie just called me and wants me to fill in three games tonight, so I have to wash my socks.

When Mark says "socks" should we all read "fishnet stockings"??????
