A FOOT OR TWO?
Ouch. Kenny Chesney crushed his foot as he opened the show for his new tour. Talk about bad timing. His foot got stuck between the stage and a lift that rises, just as he was about to sing his first song. Yet, he still went on with the show. He's nursing that injury now.A foot. An injury. Pain. That reminds me...When I was a teenager, a friend of mine rode with me to take my car to the carwash. This was one of those carwashes that you drive through. So, I aligned my wheel to the track, put it in neutral, and before long, my gray Camaro was shiny clean.At the end, 2-3 employees usually swarm the car and towel-dry any spots that are still damp. It is customary that one signals you when its time to drive away. So, I waited. Got the signal. And put the gear in drive.That's when I heard someone yell, "my foot!"One of the guys didn't realize I'd been given the green light to leave, and hadn't stepped out of the way.I had run over his foot.Panicked, I put the car in reverse to try and fix the problem, only to RUN OVER HIS FOOT AGAIN!Fortunately, he survived without any real injuries. And I decided a clean car isn't really all its cracked up to be.Hope its a quick recovery, Kenny.
