Cal.E.'s Korner

C.: Hey, d.c., are you down about the Rockets losing to their archrival, the Golden State Warriors?

d.: I am sad, but not suicidal.  I could have predicted this. The Warriors are an experienced playoff team, aht the Rockets are young with only a few players who have any playoff experience. The Rockets will be okay once they find their lead guy. They have the right coach, which was the key to the Rockets winning their only two NBA championships. Rudy T definitely brought out the best in Hakeem Olajuwon, as well as the rest of the players on those teams. And it took Hakeem ten years to become the driving, hall of fame force that propelled the Rockets to those championships….

C.: Oh, you said the ‘S’ work. I must call S-I-K-E and report this.

d.: No, I said I’m not suicidal!

C.: Well, even the cage cleaners at The Kennel are trained to evaluate someone who is suicidal, and you fit that description. Not only did you say the S word, but you have scars all over your arms and your abdomen from where you have been cutting yourself. That means that you’re trying to kill yourself, and I must act promptly or be held responsible if you succeed.

d.: No, Cal.E. You know the reason I have all those scars, which I won’t go in depth about now, but they all came from other places, not from me trying to cut myself. Besides, if I was really trying to commit suicide, those (mainly healed) scars would be on my left wrist and, probably, the left side of my neck since I’m right-handed and that’s where the most blood flows in a human’s upper body…

C.: Besides the

d.: Brain! Yes, a lot of blood flows from the heart to the lungs and then to the brain, but that’s internal. That makes those places really heard to reach with a blade, but the wrist and neck are accessible. Please do not  be a

 and try to make a medical diagnosis without a medical license, Cal.E. You are not trained to do that.

C.: d.c., do the officers The Kennel have medical licenses?

d.: No, and I know what you’re getting at, but we cannot discuss that here. So, that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO, Y'ALL!
