ROFF Rules Committee Question

"Frank Reid" wrote...
Need a ruling. I may be the originator of the "Full Reid," but it has
progressed beyond me. I need to find out if my latest endeavor qualifies.

Scene: Vendor (insert famous name here) food and beer stand at a major NFL
stadium. I am a volunteer for my daughters high school band. The band
boosters get money for manning the stand. I'm pouring beer for customers,
some one throws open the heavy, steel security door behind me (I had
complained about this before). The door catches me and slams me into the
wall. To add insult to injury, some one else has thrown absorbent material
on the floor to soak up the water. Unfortunately, the material is designed
to absorb grease. It is a detergent-based material, turning the floor under
my feet into soap suds.
My feet shoot out from under me, the beer flies into the air, along with
the soda next to it. I land on my tailbone and sprain my mid-back. I get a
fun ambulance ride to the local emergency room over cobblestone streets and
then get pumped full of narcotics and muscle relaxers.
Now, I understand there was no fishing involved. Do Dry Land Reids only
count if they are part of a fishing trip? There was, however, beer
involved, even though I had not partaken. Is this a mitigating factor?

Ouch! I HATE when that happens. Of course, it never happens to anyone but you.


As far as the rules committee question, you forget the underlying criteria for
all Reid maneuvers: WWFD? Therefore, since Frank did it, it must be a Reid.
