I'm curious, as an official, what is the most comical statement that has ever been yelled at you from the sidelines by a fan, parent, player, coach, or anyone else?? Oh, and if you had a response, what was it?

Not directed at me, but kind of funny nonetheless:
Hey Ref - that call was as bad as your combover!

Wasn't really a funny comment but we couldn't help but laugh.
Last night, flag down in the box, ball becomes loose (new rule). Thought a guy in the stands was going to have a heart attack as he jumped up and down screaming, "the ball is on the ground" and "blow the whistle" at least a dozen times. I think everyone in the next county could hear him!

I got one I yelled at a ref during a while I was playing goalie. He said something to me about stopping the ball. I responded quite loudly, "I would have stopped if I wasn't blinded by the glare coming off your bald spot!" It is always fun playing in games where you know the officials.

my favorite was always "if you had one more eye, you would be a cyclops!"

I was near the sideline for the following exchange...
The riding team's attackman was running right in front of his own bench, throwing one handed checks while resting his left hand on the back of the D man. The flag goes down, and the guy gets a penalty for a hold. the coach goes off and tells the ref: "he didn't do anything...it's not like he's going to give him Gonorrhea!" To which the ref replied: "You aren't going to make me laugh, Coach!"
I still laugh about that one.
