Chuck Norris and Superman wrestled ... the loser had to wear his underwear over his pants for the rest of his life.

In this part 1 episode of Tales From the Workplace, Boomer and Jimmy Ahmadoofus continue to chat with high school sports officials, this time with wrestling referee Anthony Clarke. A 38 year veteran of paroling the wrestling mats, Anthony talks about rule changes, the evolution of the sport, the levels of athlete participation, and more.

I wanted to have a career in sports when I was young, but I had to give it up. I'm only six feet tall, so I couldn't play basketball. I'm only 190 pounds, so I couldn't play football. And I have 20-20 vision, so I couldn't be a referee.

OK, that might be funny, but this isn't:

"...harassment has grown so rampant that more than 70 percent of new referees in all sports quit the job within three years, according to the National Association of Sports Officials. The chief cause for the attrition, based on a survey conducted by the association, was pervasive abuse from parents and coaches." (New York Times)

In this episode, Boomer starts a s series of interviews with officials of different sports that explores the national shortage of sports officials and their experiences officiating on the playing field.

Laugh along as Shaun talks to Boomer about how jokes evolve, how do comedians come up with new humor, and how to handle different and difficult audiences.
