Can We Strike Back With An Umpire?

Dear Noel, Recently, our long-serving No. 1 club umpire died after 45 years service. He’s a huge loss. He was directly responsible for two of our four county titles in the1970s, though he never pulled on a pair of boots. As chairman of the club, my phone’s ringing off the hook with suggestions as to who should replace him. This is the club’s biggest decision in years. I’ve stood at the back of Mass for the last few weeks, scouring for potential candidates with no luck. This exhaustive search is taking too much out of me…please help. Margo Fan, North Leitrim. Dear Margo Fan, Essentially what you are looking for is an uncommunicative, egotistical, pig-headed, short-sighted individual who believes he’s above any law in the land. In areas of personal hygiene, he will err on the side of neglect. He will have little formal education, if any at all, and a flock of snotty-nosed children raising a ruckus at Mass. The back of the church was a clever move. I never saw a good umpire giving out Holy Communion.
