TURLO IN "SPRAY 'N WASH" DISASTER!!!
This is a true story.
After James Bays seconds close loss to Seattle I in the BC playoffs, the host
Seattle club found itself unable to provide a shower for the Bays. In true rugby
sense, they adjourned across the street to the Spray N Wash, where the players
sprinted through the bay normally reserved for cars and props.
Only injury was to our Kevin Turlo, who got soap in his eye, stumbled into the
brushes and had his own "hood ornament" polished so to speak. Kevin
will be back with us soon, at least clean, if somewhat raw!

Huddy Medical Breakthrough!!! - special to ICRC News
Huddy Huddy is pleased to be the first international news organ(?)
to announce a major medical breakthrough for rugby front rowers!
As
some of our readers are aware, facial herpes has been a bane to front rowers
over at least the past decade – giving new meaning to the term turning the
other cheek!!!
On Saturday, at Seattle, Washington, the BCRU and Seattle Rugby Club unveiled a joint project that holds world-wide promise of eliminating this scourge going forward.
The
project – entitled Rugby Clean – was unveiled to the astonished
members of JBAA’s Division 1 team following a BCRU quarter-final, won by
Seattle 17-10. The ruggers were locked out of the adjacent recreation centre -
and instead, were ushered into a Car
Wash across the street to shower!!!
While
initially nonplussed by this experience – most JBAA ruggers ultimately
pronounced it not bad!!! After all, it was a sunny day – and several Bays
forwards pronounced themselves herpes free after they were put
through the Car Wash!!!
This
positive conclusion was reinforced by a rather bulky Seattle player – who
stated: “On my island there are no cars. This is just another shower!
What’s the fuss about?”
It should also be noted that this is not the first BCRU/Seattle medical partnership project – as tests have been run for several years to measure the tolerance of ruggers to enhancement of grass growth using domestic sewage. All credit to these medical pioneers!!!
To
ensure balanced reporting, it should be noted that not all Bays’ experiences
in the Car Wash were positive.
Reports Ontario’s Kevin Turlo:
Kevin’s
(now definitely) better half is threatening to engage redoubtable rugby lawyer Benge
O'Connor to sue both the BCRU and Seattle RC for loss of conjugal delights.
Overall,
however, this intrepid initiative must be pronounced a rugby success story.
Never again will those of us on this small isle complain about the 18 hour round
trip to Seattle to come clean!!!
