"Umpire Hair is ruled out of Trophy"
It showed up at the top of my Gmail page and I figured they were talking about some sort of trophy for umpires and deciding to nix a particular hairdo for the little plastic umpire that would sit on top.
...turns out that Hair is the name of the umpire, and trophy refers to a Cricket championship.
huh.
