CONTEST: You know you're in trouble when--

[Bossy Monkey]

Alice and I started this up yesterday evening when we were bored driving to Atlanta. Maybe when it grows up it'll be one of those annoying endessly forwarded emails.:)

You know you're in trouble when--

...the only nurse on the unit is also wearing pasties and a g-string
...you're in surgery and the doctor asks you to hand him the scalpel
...the only doctor that's "in" is a vet.
...the sign on your doctor's door says The Mad Doctor is In.
...the doctor shows you what surgery he's planning for you using the Operation game
...you call for an ambulance and they send a St Bernard
...you wake up from an operation in a long dark tunnel with a beautiful warm welcoming light at the end and a voice radiating infinite calm, joy and love says: I'm sorry my son, you didn't meet your co-pay.

Whatchagot?

1. You know you are in trouble when

you are the sitting President of the US and

John Kerry is debating you again...

You have to answer questions from real Americans that you don't get to pre-select....

your VP has to debate John Edwards....

2. Not Medical but

I worked at Nordstrom all summer and you know your in trouble when--
...you colorize your own closet.
...you think $40 is a great deal on a pair of jeans.
...you see a woman wearing Misook and know what season it is.
...you dream about tags, and tags, and tags...
...you recognize the ring tones of each of your co-workers cell phones.
...you use the word "deshanked" more than once a day.
...you sing along with the muzak.
...you can fix the receipt machines better than maintenance.

3. No reason to keep it to the medical

We were just riffing on the medical topic for morbid personal reasons I don't need to go into here. Nah, it's best to take the thing as broad as it can go.
