Dumber Captains

Just 2 weeks ago - 7th grade game.

"OK, son - you're going to call it in the air. You (looking back at home team) are going to tell me what he said. OK, ready?"

I flip the coin, visitor calls "Heads". I look toward home team - "What did he say?" Home captain says, "Tails". I pause, think, look back at the visitor captain and ask him what he called. He says, "Heads". Look back at visitor - "OK, what did he say?" "Tails".

I look up, flabbergasted, at my umpire, a 35-year grizzled guy who is trying his best not to bust up laughing at me and my predicament.

"Son, I need you to tell me what your opponent said."
"He said Tails".
"Son, the rest of us heard him say 'Heads' - I need you to repeat that for me so we all know you heard it."

"But WE wanted Heads."

AArrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!
