I've known lots of people who have referred junior school games for various sports - some sports, like field hockey, are virtually civilized. Soccer, on the other hand, is apparently just a mess to referee for younger kids.

You just keep the ball in play and let them get on with it basically.

Um.... Shellac him!

Shellac is a resin secreted by the female lac bug, on trees in the forests of India and Thailand. It is processed and sold as dry flakes (pictured at right) and dissolved in ethanol to make liquid shellac, which is used as a brush-on colorant, food glaze and wood finish. Shellac functions as a tough natural primer, sanding sealant, tannin-blocker, odour-blocker, stain, and high-gloss varnish. Shellac was once used in electrical applications as it possesses good insulation qualities and it seals out moisture. Phonograph (gramophone) records were also made of it during the 78-rpm recording era which ended in the west during the 1950s.

The joke was using a thesaurus to sound intellectual but picking the wrong definition. Finish being synonymous with both destroy+ and lacquer+?

Gah, my humour is wasted! Wasted!

My sense of humor is more used in sarcasm and making fun of people.

Better your humour than you, even though it is entirely possible that you might have a different opinion on the matter.
