a conversation we had in the office yesterday:
kassie's got a patient in the chair whose wife is a toxicologist. he asks about a stuffed creature she keeps on a shelf (it's supposed to be a 'halitosis bug') and mentions that he got one for his wife once; it's a bacterium or a spore or something.
i say: 'spores are amazing things. they're going to take over the world someday b/c they're so hard to kill.'
kassie, unconvinced, says: 'well, maybe, but i'm not going to hold my breath'
i say: 'you'd better if there's a spore around'.
yukyukyuk. we just can't help ourselves.
another conversation....'rent a liberal':
last week, we have a patient, also in kassie's room. she's a teacher at a local minority college; very cool, very hip, looooong dreadlocks, flowing shirts and skirts. we were discussing our mutual love for indian food. she said she'd like to go to india and be a serial wedding crasher just to try out all the buffets, which i thought was a GREAT idea. then we figured a way to do it for profit. if an indian couple wanted to diversify their guest list and show how progressive they are, they could hire us as a biracial, middle-aged, lesbian couple, thus covering a lot of bases in a relatively small, discounted package. we'd call our business 'rent-a-liberal'.
i love our patients....
