Rocky the Punch Bag Doctor

I have an acquaintance named Rocky.  He is a big star and he likes to study boxing and other pugilistic sports.  Rocky has taken it upon himself to diagnose and even treat maladies that afflict the punching bags at the local gym.  He will inspect them and decide if they need to be sewn up or if more substance needs to be added to their padding.  He has replaced a few and he likes to make sure that the boxers are well endowed with a boxing device that they can use to hone their skills.  Rocky is a smart man, but sadly, he has a fatal error.  Rocky can not lift the punching bags by himself and has to depend on the assistance of his sister to help him lift these punching bags.  She obliges and that is fine.  But poor Rocky might not always have his sister Tiny with him very much and if she goes away, what will Rocky do? 
If you see Rocky at the Gym, remember that he is a styling guy and that he really likes eggs in the morning.  Eggs make him very happy but sadly, he does not like to crack them and sometimes eats them shell and all.  Rocky is intelligent but he does not enjoy the game of bowling.  Bowling makes him agitated as he really can not know if the ball was too heavy or too light for him and he spends the entire day sampling many balls but never deciding what weight is best for him.   So bowling is out.  But let him play you in golf.  He hits a mean drive and he likes to put it in on 2 at the most.   To see Rocky in the Movie Theatre, you might want to sit in the front row.  He likes to crane his head back and watch the movie up close.
