I'm weak, fearful, and I don't know how to skate.
I cry easily.
I flinch and duck when a bird flies by.
I couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag.
My feet always hurt.
I have tender fingers.
I'm uncoordinated.
I get winded getting out of bed.

Question: Would I be foolish in applying for a job as a goon in the National Hockey League?

2. You simply go onto the ice...
and beat the shit out of every member of the opposing team who skates by you.

Sounds pretty simple to me... that's why I want to apply for it.

3. On the other hand, you have something most guys in the NHL aspire to!
A creative side!

11. Huh.
Edited on Tue Jan-13-09 12:46 PM by Heidi
I'm flummoxxed flumooxed perplexxed confused. You come in here all peri-cranky weak, hirsuteand confused, and I do my level best to make you feel better, come up with not one, BUT TWO "up sides" to how you might infiltrate enter the NHL in all your splendor, and you tell me I'm "going too far."

I'll just back slowly out of the room, taking all of my brilliance helpfulness with me.

Goodbye, cruel world.

P.S. Please don't feel guilty.
