I pushed him, sort of, and he fell down the dugout steps. Well maybe it was a sock at that. I'm not sure now. After all, it took place about 60 years ago. What happened was that I missed a sign.

He suspended me for two weeks without pay, but once it was over he forgot about it completely. Never mentioned it again.
