I got hurt in hockey again

Late third period, our team is down by one goal, and I steal the puck from their defenseman and I am OFF. I've got a clean cut breakaway from my blueline. My chance to be the big HERO. I'm skating at top speed and have all sorts of time to make my move.

Do I just shoot high? Shoot low? Do I juke left? Do I juke right?

In a move that completely fooled everyone, I juked... myself. I made a move to my left, lost the puck, and ended up injuring myself.

Sigh. We lost the game. I rested it this week and I thought it had healed up, but then re-aggravated it at martial arts class.

I won't tell you where the injury is. Just go ahead and think of the most embarrassing place to have an injury... yeah, you're probably right. I'm just going to call it a "lower body injury" and leave it at that.

And for all you comedians out there, feel free to use the comments section to try and guess the embarrassing injury.

Growing pain, without the "wg"? ;)

LOL. That's an awesome way of putting it - accurate, yet evokes a sense of Alan Thicke & Kirk Cameron.

Boy, that didn't take long for someone to i.d. the injury...
