Holy crap Francis ......it was a joke. The purpose of those is a chuckle, laugh or smile. Or maybe to just lighten up the mood.

Guess you missed the part where I said I would be wearing the lanyard.

You mean like the requested blue blazer, pants, white shirt, tie and blue hat we'll be wearing?

My God, you know I don't think it would really float, now that you mention it. I guess that's why I'll be wearing the REQUESTED BLUE BLAZER, PANTS, WHITE SHIRT, TIE and HAT UNIFORM!!!!!!! like everyone else.
Do YOU think the Miami Heat players, opponents, fans on TV or anyone else paying attention is going to notice if anyone in the sea of fans supporting them in the REQUESTED UNIFORM is wearing something else around their neck? No - they won't. They would have enough common sense to realize that the fans showing up at the same place, wearing the exact same uniform, doing the exact same thing, at the exact same time is sending the required message loud and clear to those it's meant for. But it will give some "know it all" fan something to lecture those around him about during the commercial breaks.
