Childhood Trauma

Just last night I had a revelation that most of my personal problems can probably be traced to the psychological trauma resulting from the childhood experience of waiting in line for the urinals at Brewers games at Milwaukee County Stadium in the 80s. I don't mean that anything unusual happened there, just an innocent 8 year old Jewish kid surrounded by a bunch of drunk goyim, overhearing their conversations. I can't describe the experience, if you've been there you know it. Ok, maybe it's not the root of all my problems, but I'm sure it played a key role.

  1. I would have thought that source of your childhood trauma came from watching an unhealthy number of Lavern and Shirley re-runs...

  2. Ahh, but that can't be. Don't you know that TV is not one of the elements of general culture that can be integrated into a Torah life, but major league baseball is? Brought to you by Miller.
