Wow, that was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAs an EMT I'm sworn never to laugh at hospital staff, because they take it out on me, but ...dang... funny stuff.
I'm still laughing...
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, Michael.
I hope they have left him a hole in the strategic place!
ReplyDeleteNevets and Linda - It's those occasions that YOU know what you meant to say...
ReplyDeleteDezmond, if you look closely there appears to be something to help him out.
29 sounds like it came right out of an erotic romance. And it's exciting to know there's a test to determine lover abnormality. I wonder when that's administered.
ReplyDeleteFunny Funny stuff, Michael.
#4 is the one that sounds like erotic romance!
