Just what I have always wanted. A faxed, and probably typed, sympathy greeting(?). And somehow I don’t think they have writer’s cramp so much as they have a repetitive stress injury caused by moving their hand from plate to mouth too much.
And for goodness sake, What is the matter with Patty? She keeps coming home and bringing Boys. At least John is a repeat customer, maybe he just likes feeling superior. He does look like a Yuppie. If they ever get married (run John run) Joy will refer to “my Son-in-law the Doctor” at every opportunity.
LOL…. my old eyes at glance first read Joy’s question as “Do you e-mail your patients or call them ‘John’?”
Um… why would he call them all “John”…. oh… never mind….. Anyway, speaking of Joy….I guess she’ll have to cough convincingly when she calls in sick for Burl….or will he have to hack away so loudly from the bedroom that they can hear it over the living room phone?
And X … same with soldiers, firemen, teachers….I got pulled over one night by a nice policeman who told me I needed a bulb in the little light over my license plate….I kept thinking how strange that he could be a cop when he looked about 12.
Speaking from experience, get to know your future in-laws before you take the plunge. You have to live with them too. The Penny’s would probably be a deal breaker, unless the couple moved far, far away.
I think it was Dilbert who called into work, “cough-cough I have a headache and can’t come in.”.“I know, but I don’t know how to make a headache sound.”
I can’t believe that Patty would be foolish enough to subject her dates to this lot. Perhaps she’s just looking for his sympathy (hopefully she prepared him for the ordeal).
Some clown replaced the “Lacy Heart” message du jour with something counter to the usual Penny-wisdom (maybe Pennywise switched ’em!!) posted there…..you know, while no one was looking………..I refuse, meanwhile to comment on the young fella seated next to the “missing” keys.

Has to be a Psychiatric fellow who’s drawn into this group like looking at a bad accident.

So Patty is dating a DOCTOR named ‘John’ now? I thought John was a lawyer. Hmmmmm.

This guy’s a doctor? Come on, he doesn’t look like he’s any older than Timmy.

My boss e-mails me every time he’s sick. He must sound just awful on the phone.

No day spent with Burl and Joy could possibly qualify as being nice.
