I wondered the same thing. He was kinda stern. In the operating room already plied by Valium I asked him what was his birthday. I know, I know I don’t understand why I did it either. I looked over and he was laughing. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > No trampoline, no contact sports, no diving. What!? He clearly doesn’t understand my life. I keep telling you, it’s that trampoline and those contact sports that get you in trouble, Beck. OK, I’ve never told you, but every time you cross the line of scrimmage, I worry. > [@kenobi\_65](#): > > When I was in college, in Madison, WI in the 1980s, one of the local medical groups had TV ads where they featured a Dr. Bonebrake. Alas, I don’t think he was an orthopedist. When I was in college, there was a GYN at the university medical center who was named Dr. Dripps. ---
