12. Now that was a classic. Just imagine instead of a basketball injury, explaining it as being alone
in a room, attacked by a pretzel with visible injuries to the face.

The "pretzel" and the "shot his 'friend' in the face" episodes are iconic Bush/Cheney moments. :)

9. If it had been Bush Jr ...
... the injury would have been self inflicted when the basketball smacked him in the chin.

If it had been Bush Sr, he woulda addressed the nation, "Read my lips. No more basketball."

If it had been Reagan, he woulda addressed the Soviets urging, "... tear down these basketball hoops."

If it had been Ford, he woulda tripped over the ball.

11. 12 stitches?
That's a lot. The most I've had at one time is 2. It must have been quite a gash.
