Stripes

I stopped last night at the local Sam's Club.  I was wanting to just head home but the gas gauge said I wasn't going to make to home without some fuel, So I had to stop. Once there I figured I better see what was inside.

I started searching for Otter Pops, along the way I got a drink of Tang from one of the Taster people, and then I found the Otter Pops, and got in line.  

Once in line the gentleman stuck up a conversation, "Where are your stripes tonight"  I thought for a minute like I should know him.  I said, "I got some Blue in the car"  He then said that his daughters played basketball at Timpview.  Then he said he thought I did a good job, that when he saw me walk onto the court he was a little relieved, that I wasn't some rookie or some poor official. I said thank you as he was finishing his purchase.  The clerk said you must be used to getting yelled at. I had to admit I was but that I still did it because I love the game and the responsibility of being a Referee.

P.S.  I love Tang, who couldn't love it, the astronaut's drank it in space

P.S. II  I love Otter Pops
