Big Guy Bigger Guy

Addled came home last night in a bit of a furry. Addled: There is something wrong with my back. Me: What's up? Addled: Well, the guy (some kind of physical therapist) came on line and grabbed my shoulders and said that my one side is 30-40 percent larger than the other side. Me: Take off your shirt. Addled rips off his shirt like a Chippendale dancer, and low and behold his one side IS 30-40 percent larger. It truly escapes me how I have not noticed this distortion. Addled: I need massage therapy. I couldn't stop looking at his back, it was like something out of a superhero comic. He could be called Below Average Height But Big Guy Bigger Guy. He's built like a tree stump. Me: Well why aren't you on jobs that work both sides of your body? Why is it that your are amassing so much muscle on your one side? Do they know what this could do to our love life? Now I have to buy two sizes of shirts for you and cut them down the middle and piece them together and sew for God's sake. Are you going to get a "special outfit" allowance for this? My God man, that is crazy. Then later in the evening the laughter hit. Then laughter and tears, and then I almost peed myself. I know that it wasn't funny, because, I know back pain hurts, and Addled must feel terribly upset that he is not as perfectly formed as he once was. He is very into himself. Yet, damn, there is a joke in there somewhere. I had to console him that I was not laughing at him, it was hormones and that new back pain drug. Seriously I have a problem of laughing at really bad stuff. Anyhow, I am off to try to install some different locks on the rental. I have more to say about my day later as some really funny stuff happened.
