4 miles after school but before the volleyball game. We played a team whose fans are notoriously poor sports. I had to kick an old guy with a cane out of a basketball game a couple years ago, and he was there tonight. We made eye contact.

Yikes. Sounds intense. I read that wrong the first two times. First I thought you kicked the old guy. Then I thought you kicked his cane.

Nice miles!

It's all about syntax.

Did I kick out of a basketball game an old guy with a cane?

Did I kick an old guy out of a basketball game with a cane? (that would be funny).

Did you notoriously cane a poor sport old basketball with an eye contact kick? Because that's what I read.

Seriously, what did he do to get kicked out?

That last one is pretty good. You've sparked my curiosity, too, on what you kicked him out for. You must've made quite an impression if he came back, saw you, and didn't do it again. :-)

An eye contact kick :) I like that!

Oh, he and some other old guy were mouthing off to the refs, and the refs were the ones who technically kicked him out. I had to escort him out and he mouthed off to me the entire way out. His granddaughter (or maybe someone else) was mouthing off, too. Her best line was, "This is why no one likes your school."

It was not funny that day, but hilarious later.

Last year after a volleyball game at their school, some of the parents followed the girls out to the bus and taunted them (we lost). These were a bunch of men in their 50s. Classy.

I bet he was on his best behavior after getting caned last year.

And since his granddaughter rides the classy bus to the School for Mouthy Referees, he is going to need an escort well into his 50's. Well, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification, Tracy!
