[Viking2002]

I was needling him about getting The Needle, that’s why. He’s been railing against it, then goes in and gets jabbed. (He’s a bigger cynic than I am, and that’s a reach.) I asked him if it was an employer mandate; he said no, he was getting it reluctantly. He never specified why. Maybe he’s dating someone who is demanding it - he’s not the type to change horses mid-stream like that (he’s recently widowed after a 30 year marriage, then sold his home and moved, so that’s the only plausible motivation I can see). Being the dutiful friend that I am, I was giving his chain a good, hard yank. He’d do the same for me. It’s expected of each other, like a perpetual fraternity hazing. LOL
