So this official walks over to retrieve the ball - bends over in front of the fan - the fan whispers in his ear... "Just our luck - Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder in the same ....ing game!

Last night my last HS game this year. Fan yells close your eyes and you will twice as many plays right!

Did men's "wreck" last night, boy did we have a train wreck on our hands with 10 guys who wanted to cry everytime the whistle blew....one guy says "i think you're doing a pretty good job as a first time ref" haha that got a chuckle out of me.

I occasionally get to work with these two older veterans, both about the same age, but one completely bald. Anyways, during the pregame captains meeting, the one with the full head of hair starts off like this, "Hello captains, that's Matt (me), I'm Tom, and this is my dad Buck" While pointing to the bald guy! Ha!
