Interesting and weird

[Ed Hickland]

Working my first game, a JV contest, in a new association the referee was late and the other two officials decided I should be the ref.

Following the kickoff as per my usual routine I walked back to the offensive huddled and asked, "Center...which way do you want your laces?"

The center turns around and looks down at his shoes.

One of his teammates goes, "No silly, the football laces."
