West Texas vs. Social Norms

Background on my university - we are a business school. The only majors offered are in the business world and that's it. With that said, there are a lot of presentations, which means people have to dress up to make these presentations. A baseball guy comes in, visibly upset about how his presentation went. He is in a stiff white shirt, tie, dark wash jeans, and boots (this is necessary info, promise).

Baseball player: Rachel, does it look like I've cleaned up? I mean, I look nice, right? 
Me: Yeah...
Baseball player: Well, I just got done giving a kick-ass presentation, only I got a B because the professor said that I wasn't "dressed professionally". I don't know what she means; I'm from West Texas for crying out loud! This is dressed up. I can say that I spent more time starching my jeans than she did getting ready this morning.

Always Entertaining

Visiting soccer guy (soccer guy #1) comes into the training room before the game to get pre-game treatment. I hook him up to the e-stim machine and a heat pack. His friend (soccer guy #2) is on the next table and finishes his treatment about 30 seconds before soccer guy #1.

Me: (Looking at soccer guy #2) That beep means you're done.
Soccer guy #1 starts peeling the still-active electrodes off and gets them stuck to his fingers.
Me: (Looking at soccer guy #1) Don't touch those. You're not done yet.
Soccer guy #1: What do you mea-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! What's going on!!?!?! Aaaahhhh!!!!

Baseball guy #1: (now singing much higher) OOOOOOOOO, BABY! YEEEEEEAHHH....WATER!

Blessings From Above

Soccer guy: Look, guys! A tumbleweed! Come to us, tumbleweed, come and bestow your blessing upon us.
Tumbleweed tumbles over, brushes past a couple of them, and then continues on its way.
Soccer guy: We have all been blessed by the tumbleweed.

A Whole New Meaning To "Sweat It Out"

Soccer girl: Rachel, you know when your bladder is really full and you have to pee really bad? If you just ran around and made yourself sweat a lot, could you sweat it out and then not have to go anymore?

Possible Career as a Contortionist?

Softball girl: Hey, Rach. I have a problem.
Me: Details?
Softball girl: So last night I was sitting Indian-style on my bed and I dislocated my ankle. It flipped up. I popped it back in, but it kinda hurts now. What should I do?

Satan's Breath

Intelligent Life?

I'm doing some therapeutic ultrasound on one of my baseball boys' legs. He's a little on the hairy side. After watching me for a bit, he looks at his leg and then at me:

"Looks like crop circles. Crop circles on my groin. Oh yeah!"
