Tom's Blog on Life

Yeah. Imagine going through life feeling flat and down trodden!

There was this one nurse that just drove me crazy.
Every time she came in, she would talk to me like I was a little child. She would say in a patronizing tone of voice, “and how are we doing this morning?” Or…. “are we ready for a bath?” Or… “are we hungry?”
I had enough of this particular nurse. One day at breakfast, I took the apple juice off the tray and put it in my bedside stand.
Later I was given a urine sample bottle to fill for testing. So you know where the juice went!
The nurse came in a while later, picked up the urine sample bottle, looked at it and said, “My, my, it seems we are a little cloudy today.”
At this, I snatched the bottle out of her hand, popped off the top, and gulped it down, saying, “Well, I’ll run it through again. Maybe I can filter it better this time!”
The nurse fainted… …I just smiled!
(I know it’s a joke but it’s also interesting the problems people create for themselves and others just because they are not prepared to communicate on the things that they don’t like.)
