And, being Mr. Smart Guy of course, I call him out. Way way way out of the box, foot on the ground, etc. etc.

"You honor! How can you call me out? I thought the only restriction was you couldn't step on the plate!"

And I did have a snappy comeback:

"Overruled."

Thank goodness you didn't say "out of order" or we would have had to start a new thread.
