Abuse Authorities

Great 'butthead story... here's a letter we recevied from Gayle Höeven:

Couldn’t help but share this after reading the CURMUDGEON’S OBSERVATION in Scuttlebutt 3051 on Thursday, March 18, 2010:

"You might be a sailing bum if your doctor reports your injuries to Abuse Authorities."

When first married (1978) the ladies I worked with would leave pamphlets regarding spousal abuse on my chair after each weekend of brutal one design Cal 20 racing. But the best one was when I went to the Gynecologist, and he asked his Nurse to call the authorities, because I had hand-print bruises on both checks of my behind... My husband had hoisted me up quickly to catch the main halyard that had gotten away. Oh, now those were the days.
