One time I got sick and landed in the hospital. There was this one nurse that just drove me crazy. Every time she came in, she would talk to me like I was a little child.
She would say in a patronizing tone of voice... "And how are
we doing this morning?"
Or...
"Are we ready for a bath?" Or...
"Are we hungry?"
I had had enough of this particular nurse. One day at breakfast, I took the apple juice off the tray and put it in my bedside stand.
Later I was given a urine sample bottle to fill for testing.
So you know where the apple juice went! The nurse came in a while later, picked up the urine sample bottle, looked at it and said... ‘My, my, it seems we are a little cloudy today.”
At this, I snatched the bottle out of her hand,
popped off the top, and gulped it down, saying... "Well, I'll run it through again. Maybe I can filter it better this time!"
The nurse fainted... I just smiled!
...vindictive are we?

DeleteWhile i'm sure this never happened, i can tell you a true, funny story that is similar.
ReplyDeleteJack Benny was always playing the miser (but in real life he was actually quite generous), he was famous for playing the cheapskate. Back in those days, stars who needed some time off to rest and relax would check into the hospital for a few days or a week to recover from their grueling film schedules.
He was tired and so checked into the hospital, and the nurse insisted he had to give a urine specimen. He objected that he'd just gone to the restroom, but she wouldn't take no for an answer, demanding a sample.
He went into the restroom and managed to come back with a tiny bit in the cup, and she looked at it and said, "You don't give anything away, do you!"
Jack Benny was a great comedian. Straight face, great delivery of punchline. George Burns was great too. And Bob Hope.
DeleteGod bless, Mimi.
I guess you showed her a thing or two, Victor!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Sometimes my sense of humour gets the better of me, Martha.
DeleteGod bless you and your family.
If I were the nurse, I might have thrown up on you instead. Lol. Funny story. You have a vivid imagination. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteIt's my imagination that keeps me smiling when I'm feeling low.
