This may come back to haunt me after saying this, but I've never had a need for a second whistle and I remember who's ball it is. Is the second whistle because something could happen to the first one or to help remember who's ball it is?

Only thing in my pocket these days is my Fitbit One. I wouldn't want to carry a tic tac if it wasn't necessary.

If my whistle breaks, I'll delay the game to retrieve another one. I carry nothing but a few LifeSavers, which I will use during the game if I feel so inclined. The only thing in my jacket pocket is a needle to deflate the (always) over-inflated game ball.

I agree. I'm not carrying another whistle.

I carry a spare in case the shirt loop breaks. I use a smitty and it's happened.

But I like the Smitty...

I have a spare on a noose lanyard in my jacket. That's just the Boy Scout in me.

In my little corner of Connecticut, and probably only in my little corner of Connecticut, both.
