High School Gym

When you are a geek in high school, gym class is loathsome.  There is wrestling, rope climbing and sadistic instructors.  Then, as if that wasn't enough, in the nice weather, there were outdoor tortures.

This is about one: the first time I saw stars.  We were playing soccer.  Racing around, moving the ball and such.  Actually, not to be immodest, but I was quite good.  As I was charging down the field, this guy strong armed me in the face.

I went down like a sack of potatoes.  I was only out for a minute, but as I recall, the gym teacher didn't even halt play.

As I said, sadists.
