SMACK! It hit one of the men directly in the...well, you can guess.
He dropped to the ground, hands t ight ly clasped between his legs, groaning in pain.
The woman ran over, clearly shaken. “I’m so sorry!” she cried. “I’m a physical therapist. I can help you—it’s what I do!”
The man, curled up in a ball, muttered, “No, no, I’ll be okay...just give me a second...” But she insisted.
Finally, he nodded. She gently moved his hands aside, helped him sit up, and began to apply a careful, professional massage through his clothing. After a few minutes, she asked, “Is that feeling any better?”
He looked at her and said, “Honestly...that part feels amazing. But my thumb still really hurts!”
