allbets,  that story was for purposes of a laugh.  Laughter is the best drug but many need drugs to laugh which is sad! Those who remember Steve Martins movie The Jerk will relate to the beginning of that post.  Those who grew up in the Boston suburbs during the 60's and 70's will also relate.  Ya gotta love that Hoppa commercial by Dish.  Those are definitely guys from Dorchester or Revere!  The guy standing behind his son with a baseball bat.  THE HUUPPA! LOL!

 Boston Strong!
