Can you dunk? It’s a rhetorical question. Of course you can dunk.
All it takes is to be tall, or to lower the hoop, or to use a trampoline, or to be talking about a cookie and to be dunking it in your tea.
Now, if you’ve ever played what I like to call bouncy soccer (see Air Mail cartoon below), you’ve probably experienced a finger prang. This is when the ball smashes directly into an extended digit, and causes a swollen episode.
If you’ve suffered such a fate, the following cartoon is for you.
