I went to the doctor today and my daughter was with me. The handsome young doctor, whom I refer to as "doctor" introduced himself to my daughter using his first name. Why does she get to be on a first name basis with him? Surely youth and beauty had nothing to do with it.
An x-ray tech handed me a cup of white stuff to drink, but not before she donned a lead trench coat. I am uncomfortable with this. She needs protection to hand it to me but I can drink it. Not cool. I'll tell you what was cool though. I had to stand on a platform with my back against a wall. Later I had to face the wall. I had to hug the wall. The wall turned into a table and I got to ride on it. Whee! That was fun. No, I mean it really was fun.
I saw a sign that said "Whites Stay White". Seemed odd until I realized it was a Dry Cleaners.
I inadvertently startled a squirrel when I was leaving the house this afternoon. He was so frazzled that he ran straight into a brick wall. I heard his little head "thunk!" Then he turned around and ran the other way. Never seen a squirrel do that before. They always seem to be so aware.
After my tests they gave me two coupons for the cafeteria. Everyone's getting in on the coupon craze. The $5 in coupons made being nuked SO worth it. And that's how the hospital keeps 'em coming back. (They have apparently hired a marketing genius.)
I saw a guy with a noose tattooed around his neck. No comment.
I saw a business called "Reliable Fabrications" Is that possible? I mean, if it's a fabrication, how reliable can it be?
And, I saw a restaurant called "The Dog's Bollox". Of course I had to look it up to see what it meant, but I had a pretty good idea. I don't eat at any restaurant referencing a dog in it's name because it just grosses me out. The Hairy Dog, The Lazy Dog, The Salty Dog, The Hungry Hound...hate all of them. I don't even eat hot dogs. But this one just took my dog/restaurant aversion to a new level. Now excuse me while I go pluck out my mind's eye.
