I said Peanuts!

So…
I wasn’t going to post anything today so that you could all marvel at how down to earth the WW is until the next part of her interview but… it seems my co-workers just don’t want to take a day off on being silly!

Picture this scene.

I go to the front Reception/Waiting Room area to look for a chart. Milton is watching the Reception desk for Cowardly Lion while she takes a potty break.

In walks an Older Gentleman with a big smile and says:
OG:
‘Hi there! I’m John Doe and I brought my knee to see the doctor!’

[I giggle cuz I thought that was funny]

Milton:
‘Hi Mr. Doe, you said you brought your niece?'

OG:
'No, not my knees, my knee!'

Milton:
'Right, is that your niece over there?' [pointing to an even older lady who had been sitting in the waiting room for a while]

OG:
'Who? What? Huh?'

Milton:
[loud voice] 'WHAT IS YOUR NIECE'S NAME?'

OG:
[loud voice back] 'WHICH ONE...?'

[before Milton can answer, I jump off the 4-step step stool (not so much jump, more like fall) and say]

Cool Bananas Bee:
'Milton this is Mr. Doe, he has an appointment at 2:30 and he's here to see the doctor for his knee!'

[I tap my knee for emphasis in case she still doesn't get it...]

Remind me again why I'm drinking decaf?


Oh... HIM!

OZ wanted an update on an account but he couldn't remember the patient's name.
This is the information he gave me:


'He's a young Russian guy, good looking but gay. I fixed his elbow.'

If anybody knows who this is, or if you are this guy, please let me know.

  1. I sympathise. My first day at work after a week off & I'm having a Milton day. A colleague said something & it took 3 attempts before I realised he was saying "There'll be a full moon in 15 minutes". Which only added to my general feeling of befuddlement...

  2. Gay Russians is my second favorite thing....next to White Russians. Virgin White Russians, that is.

  3. And just you never mind how a nice Mormon girl knows what a White Russian is.

    My Colombiana stepmom is older than my dad. She's practically Metheusela. And yet she insists on calling my grandma, 'MOM!' I laugh every time because I'm a horrible person. The niece thing just reminded me of that.

  9. Re blogs: I'm certain he doesn't. Agree about the sympathy (I had a better afternoon ;-) )

    I prefer Black Russians myself, but they are a bit expensive here (though nicer than ones I've had in the US)
