So anyhow… I had to go to the chiropractor the other day. I’ve been having trouble with my lower back and my hip. I’m going up to New York in September to watch some Yankee games. I’ve got to get myself straightened out so I can sit on those bleachers out there with my Bleacher Creature pals.
I walk in and I got on my Yankee cap and shirt, since the chiro is from the Boston area.
Receptionist: Hey Coach! I love that shirt. Dr. C will hate that.
Me: Yep. That’s the plan.
Shortly, I get called back. I’m sitting there waiting on Dr. C. He finally comes in. His eyes lighten up and he grins.
Dr. C: Gee! Wearing that Yankee crap again?
Me: Just for you!
We’re talking a little about basketball and how he grew up a Boston Celtics fan.
Me: Oh well, I used to watch the Celtics when I was a kid back in the 60’s. Way before you were born. John Havlicek and crew were great to watch. Then came along Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale and that great team were even more fun to watch. I loved that time, in the 1987 Game 5 Eastern Conference Finals, when Robert Parish “The Chief” comes down the court and just cold cocked that sorry Bill Laimbeer! Idiot never could keep his mouth shut. Chief dropped that clown like a sack of potatoes.
Dr. C: Yeah I remember reading about that as a kid!
So anyhow… he starts working on me. We began talking about the Yankees taking a doubleheader from his beloved Boston Red Sox the other day.
Dr.C: While I’m working on you isn’t the time to bring that up!
At this point, I’m on my back on the table and he’s got my left leg lifted across my upper torso for a good stretch. He gave my lower back a little extra shove.
Riiiiipppp!!! All of a sudden, I’m thinking, “Oh crap! I just ripped a big fart on that fella! I wonder if he heard that? Oops. Don’t matter if he heard it. Does he smell it?”
I could see his eyes bulge and his nostrils flare.
Me: Guess I should have told you I had pinto beans and cornbread last night.
Dr. C: Haha.. That’s my fault for taking it out on you. I guess the Yankees just crapped on Boston in a new way.
Me: You got that right! Go Yankees!!!
