My local video store, 6:30, Thursday night. Enter a woman with a stern face.
“I had to come tell you this. I found out more about our Doctor,” she says, without greeting, to the clerk.
“Really?”
“Yeah. I am livid! I found out–” voice goes down, thankfully I can still hear, “–he went to the US to study medicine… on a hockey scholarship!”
“No!”
“Yeah! I am going to a lawyer on Monday. I am in agony! I can’t keep anything in my mouth!”
“It doesn’t look too bad.”
“It’s inter-muscular. They say there’s nothing I can do except wait it out.”
Out of politeness, I’m not looking. I want to look. I must not look. She’s tempting me to look…
“It’s here, here… here…”
I’M NOT LOOKING.
“…And here.”
“Well it’s not that bad. It looks like mild Chicken Pox,” the clerk laughs.
“Thanks. Hey do you have that movie with Bill Murray as a soldier?”

Careful, Stephen Harper will come to your house personally and revoke your passport with talk like that.
Hockey?
Watz that?
What’s wrong with playing some hockey while learning medicine….you become a double threat out on the ice…u can break someone’s arm and then reset it on the bench during your shift….that’s how real men play hockey….!!!
