Actually they may be, by the umpires, who _are_ the authorities. I raise the finger of dismissal (just to add to the confusion).

The finger of dismissal? I like that. Is that sort of like hand waving? Like "Mark and I were watching The Walking Dead and were wondering why Daryl was riding around alone on a motorcycle. Eh, *hand wave*.

I'm glad neck wear and ties have evolved over the centuries. Can you guys imagine people strolling around with ruffs? Now, that's a look.
