taking a page from the fred flintstone playbook
i'm basically tripping on caffeine right now, which might partially explain why this silly memory flitted through my thoughts. i was at the doctor's office as a lad for a routine check-up, and he was checking my knee joints with that thingy that could probably double as a tack hammer, and when he went to tap my knee, i responded in a manner that hours of cartoons and three stooges had taught me was proof of a healthy knee joint: i kicked my leg straight out with full force. i was lucky that i didn't nail the doc flush in the chin.

Oh man, I did that too, of course. My 80-year-old pediatrician had to tell me to "be natural" on a few occasions.
i'm pretty sure my doc told me to take things down a notch, or at least something to that effect. if i had known better at the time, i would have been pretty embarassed.
