Conversation with attorney labeled:

“Don’t talk to me like you talk to your wife!”

ATTY: [disgruntled attorney]
Why wasn’t this claim sent to health insurance?

BEE: ["polite" Bee]
Is this an accident claim?

ATTY: [annoyed]
SO?!

BEE: [controlled rage]
Did you just answer “so”? “So” what? I asked if it was an accident claim.

ATTY: [polite]
Oh, sorry. Yes.

BEE: [as if to a 2 year old child]
Then that’s why it wasn’t sent to health, we send it to liable.

ATTY: [seething]
All the other medical bills went to health and were paid! Why wouldn't your doctor do the same?!

BEE: ["polite" again]
Are you having issues with your phone?

ATTY: [curious]
… No… why?

BEE: [can you detect the fury?]
I want to believe you are, otherwise why would you be yelling at me?!

[in the meantime Purple Dino-SOUR and Milton are laughing so loud I start having issues with hearing the ninny muggins on the line]

ATTY: [semi polite]
I apologize, I didn’t mean to raise my voice. I was just surprised and trying to understand why…?

BEE: [quiet sarcasm]

Right, let me guess you’ve never had any doctor do this before? You're upset on behalf of your client. You think the doctor charged too much money. And so on.

ATTY: [I'm assuming he was thinking "let's cut the bullshit!"]

... ... Okay, how much will he accept to consider the bill paid in full.

BEE: [I'm thinking "glad we cut the bullshit!"]
We seem to be hearing each other perfectly now!

****No attorneys were hurt in the making of this post. Yet.

Also, somebody threw out a stale coffee cake and the bats are going bananas.
I wonder who threw it out?
Hmmmm...?

    They're going to start wanting danger money from their clients...

    Fruit Bats:

    I'm not surprised they're going bananas. "An army marches on its stomach", as they say - any crack team owes its ruthless and clockwork-like efficiency to the quality of its food.

    I think you need to start baking - maybe you should try some Martha Stewart recipes. Otherwise the bats might stop resembling that well-oiled machine.

    Sorry but my little sister was supposed to leave her camera so that I could upload the pics. She didn't. Then she was supposed to e-mail them to me. She didn't.
    She keeps saying about how she's tired and nauseous blah blah blah... :o)
