C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for January 04, 2011

I like that thought, Mona.

Do tell us what funny ideas you had in mind, Mona!

There’s always “cut on dotted line.”

Thinking of all the times she’s turned down a medical student with “over my dead body…”

Mona, your body is going to the Tobacco Museum.

I am sorry Mona, but that would just make me think about it.

My next tattoo will be “Do Not Resuscitate” in big letters across my chest, just in case I’m comfortably on my way to oblivion and some wanna-be hero gets funny ideas.

Tattoos may be a good idea when you’re young, but not so hot when you’re old and wrinkled.

With Mona, wouldn’t a gentle put-down to a medical student take the form of “over YOUR dead body”?

(I shared a university with them: I now have a lifelong aversion to doctors. Hell, I wouldn’t have trusted any of the student doctors I knew to have lanced a boil without it turning into gangrene and loss of a limb. The drunken useless chain-smoking $hits you knew as undergraduates grow up into GP’s. This is frightening))

Yeah right. She hasn’t already got a tramp stamp. Sure thing. She needs those neck cobwebs like Abby Sciutto.

runar, my ink is all in places where it won’t be overly affected by aging. Besides, I’m ALREADY 46…

fritzoid, 46 ain’t old. I was talking 80 and up (I’m about to turn 54 myself and have yet to get a grey hair or a wrinkle.

46 ain’t old, but it ain’t young either. I hardly expect to see 80 (I’ve got family history and “lifestyle choices” backing me up; see also my “Do Not Resuscitate” remark, above).

Besides… If, when you’re old, you don’t have SOME embarrassing reminders of “youthful indiscretions”, you probably weren’t having enough fun.

Maybe she drew it with Sharpies borrowed from Mona.
