Just warming up for the Big Post
Overheard at my dentist’s office last week:
Patient (white, middle-aged, male) at reception: I missed Aubrey. I was really hoping she would be cleaning my teeth today.
Receptionist: I know, I know. She’s on her honeymoon.
Patient: Where did she go?
Receptionist: Africa.
Patient: Wow! She just might come back with a bone in her nose. Hahahahahahaha!
Receptionist: Ha ha…um…ha ha (ahem)…ha haa…
Patient: You’ll have to tell her I said that! Hahaha. No. Nevermind. Don’t tell her. I’ll tell her myself next time. Hahahahahha.
Wowzer! That’s a doozy! I’ve always found it really odd how often people refer to a continent as large and diverse as Africa, as if it is a single country. People seem allergic to memorizing the name of the country long enough to pass the information on to the next person. I don’t think that “Italy” is referred to as “Europe” anywhere near the rate. A weird event, I tell you.
Excellent! I just threw up a little.
Excuse me, sir, but I was wondering where you live? The water is obviously tainted there, and I’d like to avoid losing brain cells at the rate you seem to have done.
I was already feeling really sad today, and that just did.not.help. What is wrong with people. Seriously. I am looking forward to your Big Post.
