Today, I went to my doctor's office and found everyone there wearing UK shirts, hats. buttons, ribbons, etc. Gross I thought and wanted to leave.

So, I go back to the tech who draws the blood and asked him (clearly not a bball fan to me) if they forced him to wear a UK shirt. He said they always do this on a game day. Guess I've never been fortunate enough to come in on one of those before. Anyhow, I said but are you a fan of UK? He said he didn't care about basketball at all, but went along with the office folks. I said but what would you do if you didn't like UK like I don't? He asked me why and I said I was a Duke fan. Well this very nice, obviously sheltered man asked me where that was.

About this time, he was ready to stick me for the blood which he did with minimal pain to me. I HATE having blood taken. While he was doing his thing, he said, you know, if I were a big UK fan, I could really have made this very painful for you, you Duke fan!! We had a big laugh over that. Then when he bandaged my hand, he brought over his tape and said, now I'm going to put this UK-blue bandage tape (the stretchy kind) on you. To which I said, you mean this DUKE-blue tape, don't you?!? He laughed and said you mean Duke has the same color as UK? I said well first of all, it's Duke's blue and they are very closely related.
I see this Phlebotomist a few times a year. I'm sure he will remember me from now on!
