Seven carries

 Several minutes passed before Rock realized he had never seen a housecat play in a high school football game. Nevertheless, he had seen one the night before who looked exactly like his cat Joe. This cat wore  No. 5 on his jersey, and Rock watched as he rushed for thirty-five yards on seven carries. Rock tried to interview him after the game, but the cat couldn't speak. Instead, he licked Rock, who knew then the cat indeed was his roommate, Joe. Suddenly, Rock was in some sort of haywire conflict of interest. He wondered whether he could write a story about a cat named Joe Perkins who had just run for thirty-five yards in a high school football game.

California circuit

 This unimaginable circumstance was in place for Rock for the second time in a month. As a byproduct of a phone call to a Santa Anita Park horse trainer, Rock had been fined one-thousand dollars for his attempt to play a golf shot from a dirt road on the perimeter of a golf course on a professional golf circuit in California. In both instances, he tried to play his previous shot from a road clearly out of bounds but with his feet planted on the course. He was fined each time by a California state trooper apparently designated to make sure everyone was penalized for Rock's breach.
