Several years ago, I went to the doctor because it hurt to lift my right arm above my head. It was really hindering my shot-blocking ability in basketball. The doctor sent me to the physical therapist. While she was writing in her notebook, with her head down focusing on her notes, she asked me, “How long has your arm been hurting?”

I answered, “About a year.”

She looked up at me and asked, “If it’s been hurting for a year, why did it take you so long to see the doctor?”

I replied, “Because I'm a guy.”
