The only other thing he hated more than getting hurt on the job was going to see the shrink afterwards. It was mandatory so he couldn't get out of it. He was taught that a man doesn't go around discussing his feelings. If it was just about him talking about what happened to him then he would have been fine with it. But a shrink wants to discuss how you think it might have affected other people in your life and pretty much everything else. The part he hated the most was when the shrink would do the word association crap. I say a word and you tell me what the first word that comes to your mind is. Well here goes nothing.
Blue: Cop
Hard: Soft
Right: Wrong
Ring: Phone
Black: White
Sweet: Sour
Dog: Pet
Salt: Pepper
Car: Fast
Heart: Lindsay.
And that's when the shrink says hmm and you want to shoot yourself for letting her name slip out.
