【笑話原文】
Squeeze Twice for NO
During a football game I saw one of the players took a hard hit. He tumbled to the ground and didn’t move. We grabbed our first-aid gear and rushed out onto the field. The coach picked up the young man’s hand and urged,“Son, can you hear me? Squeeze once for yes and twice for two.”
