That reminds me of a phobia I have too...of being hit by some stray'whatever'. A baseball, golfball, or anything that is propelled throughthe air atenormous speed. I also had a huge phobia of thattoy which came out back in the 70s...they were called 'Clackers' or'Click-Clacks', or 'Quick-Clacks', and they consisted of two glass-likeballs that were on a rope:Now, that brings me to one of my phobias,being hit by a baseball (we have caught balls in our seats) or a hockeypuck.
Kids would play with them in the schoolyard, clacking those hard ballstogether, swinging them all over the place...I still feel myselfcringing inside over the very sight of them! They finally were bannedfrom school premises because they were considered dangerous. Theyremind me a bit of nunchucks, which you use in pretty much the sameway...ew.....
