Man 1: Look at this field! This is so unfair! Abby's Dad: What about the field? Man 1: It's sloped toward our goal! Just drop the ball on the grass and it will roll into our net! Abby's Dad: Uh, I believe the ground only slopes to the sides...for drainage. Man 1: Don't get me started on that! Man 1: It must be like trying to play on the roof on an A-frame house! A house tilted towards our goal! Abby's Dad: I don't think so, Jerry. Peri's Dad: Besides, we switch ends after the half. Man 1: Yeah, right. Just as the blades of grass start to bend in the direction of the afternoon sun, making the ball roll toward the other goal! Abby's Dad: Is there such a thing an an "intervention" for this sort of weirdness? Man 1: Coach! Coach! I brought a level! Peri's Dad: We'll need a large butterfly net.

I worked for a guy who was a volunteer soccer ref. He had to take away knives players had hidden in their shin pads…and that was the girls team.
