Coach took me aside.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold.

Good afternoon Steve!

How would you characterize this humor; in to what category does it fit?

This is probably my very favorite style! I love it.

subtle humor of some sort. If there was a type of monologue humor I think this would fit into it. I love this type of stuff as well. Jerry Clower has some stuff kind of like this. Some of his stories lead in straight then take a turn like this one.
