When I was a sophomore or junior in high school our baseball team made it to the playoffs. Their first game happened to be at our school. I guess it was a big deal because we needed an official national anthem with a big flag. They were sure proud. Anyway, I happened to be at the game, so the A.D. asked me to hold the flag. I thought, "no problem, this'll be easy". Unfortunately it wasn't quite as easy as I thought it was going to be. I got out in front of everyone there and attempted to unroll the flag. But it had tassels! The tassels wrapped themselves around the flag while I unrolled it and it was too big to hold differently without dropping it. I kept trying desperately, but it wasn't going well--and everyone was watching. On top of that, a friend of mine was going to play the national anthem on his trumpet. He was waiting for the flag to be unrolled before he started. Not a great combination. Regardless, I was mortified. Picture proof. Don't be confused, the flag looks practically unrolled in this picture, but it's not.
