Harvey Has No Luck

If Harvey, the GM of George's Gorilla's Fantasy Football Team, had any luck, he would have no luck at all. It seems as if Harvey is always getting into some kind of trouble, or causing some commotion in one way or another. Back on Oct 31st when Harvey went missing at the hands of some very bad characters, I thought I had seen the last of my little buddy, but due to the hard work of Nosy the Bloodhound, and "Frankie the Mouse" we were able to rescue Harvey just in time.

When I received word from Nosy the Bloodhound that Harvey had been found, and rescued I was elated. Thanks to the special carrier provided to me from "Animal's United in the Kingdom," I was able to fly to an undisclosed location to meet with Nosy. Upon my arrival I met with Nosy, and sure enough, there was Harvey. I was so happy to see him that I did two backflips, and the "Gorilla Shuffle" while doing the "Gorilla Grunt." After I got a hold of myself, I placed Harvey's glasses on his head. His glasses were left behind in his hut when he was taken away.

Harvey was estatic to see me. I mean he could really see me now with his glasses on his head. He looked a little worse for wear, but other than that he seemed fine. I suggested that we call an ambulance so Harvey could be taken to the local hospital for a checkup before we flew back home. The ambulance arrived, and in went Harvey on the gourney. The doors were closed, and off he went. Nosy, and I followed behind in Nosy's car.

While following the ambulance Nosy gave me all the details of how Harvey was found, and how he was rescued just in time. Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw something happening that I couldn't believe. You know, your eyes see it, but it just isn't registering in your brain. The ambulance doors swung open, and out come Harvey strapped to the gourney. All this was happening while the ambulance was traveling at 35 MPH. I will never forget the look on Harvey's face. His eyes were as big as saucers, and he had this dumbfounded look on his face like, "I know this is happening, but yet I can't believe it's really happening."

Nosy swerved his vehicle so as not to hit Harvey. I watched as we passed each other going in opposite directions. Nosy slammed on his brakes as I turned to see what would happen to Harvey. Luckily no other vehicles were on the road when Harvey went by us. If he could have stayed on the road, he would have been alright, but as Harvey's luck would have it, he went off the road, and nothing but bad took place from that point on.

Off the road, down the ditch, up out of the ditch, rolled over 3 times, went end over end, and into the trees. It seemed as if it was all taking place in slow motion. By this time we were out of the vehicle running to Harvey. While all this was taking place, Harvey was grunting, screaming, crying, and saying some things I can't repeat. When Harvey finally came to a stop, which I might add, was sudden like, he was dangling from the side of the gourney, but his straps held, and kept him from being tossed to God knows where.

He wasn't going to ride that gourney anymore. It was totaled, and Harvey wasn't in too good of shape either. By now the ambulance driver realized what had happened, and returned to the scene. Harvey was a mess for sure, and we thought that he had died. We got him back into the ambulance, and this time I rode with him to the hospital.

Harvey had some broken bones, a head injury, (he always had one of those) bumps, bruises, and a tree limb had to be removed from a certain part of his body, but other than that, he's just fine. The amazing thing about the crash is that Harvey never lost his glasses, and they didn't even break. Can you imagine that?

Well anyway, Harvey will be on the sidelines this weekend when the Gorilla's face off with the Shaker's in round 2 of the playoffs. As soon as his fingers heal up, he'll be back on his keyboard writing all about his experience, and causing trouble once again. It's good to have the old boy back again, but he has no luck whatsoever.

For some strange reason I had my camera in my hand when Harvey flew out the doors of the ambulance. I just clicked a shot, and this is what I got.
