The Slice

Slice answer (keeping soreness private)

I enjoyed the following note from Paul Baxter.

"Mr. Turner,

"In Monday's column you asked if there were any kind of soreness that people in your office regarded as too personal to discuss.

"I don't work in an office. I have spent most of my adult life outside working construction or demolition. Call me old school in that I will be eligible for Social Security in a few years.

"Myself and other old schoolers adhere to an unwritten law of not admitting to pain of any type and working through it.

 "However, the younger people starting out in the business are more than willing to talk about the subject. In fact they are quite willing to show you the site of the pain. As a result I have seen body parts I didn't know it was possible to pierce or tattoo."
