Message-ID: <379@cuuxb.UUCP> Date: Thu, 6-Feb-86 10:32:54 EST Article-I.D.: cuuxb.379 Posted: Thu Feb 6 10:32:54 1986 Date-Received: Sun, 9-Feb-86 04:58:21 EST Distribution: net Organization: AT&T-IS, Customer Support, Lisle, Il. Lines: 32 I was talking to a friend of mine the other day. His name is Tim Brandt. He's a doctor of internal medicine. I said, Hey Tim, you got anything for my sinuses?" He said, "yeah, try actifed. That's what I use. You got anything for my busted answering machine?" We trade stuff now and then. Seems that Tim doesn't like being reminded that he's a doctor when he's not in his office and on duty. He'd like to turn it off now and then so he can enjoy a hobby or something. I just call him Tim because that's his name. If I were to go down to his place of business and call out DOCTOR!, about four heads would pop up(8-). And only one of 'em would know who the hell I am... Tim's got a lot of Italian blood in him, so certain of his remarks and such don't surprize me. I walked in and found George waiting in Tim's office one day. Me, "Hi George, what's goin' on?" George, "I'm waiting for Tim to get off so we can go get something to eat." Me, "WOW! Time sure flies. Supper time already. Where's the day go?" Tim, "I'm back here in the back, I'll be out in a minute." Now I'm gonna see if anyone has found a cure for my malady. I suffer, at times, from optorectalitis. That's where a hemoriod forms on the optic nerve and gives the victim a shitty outlook on life. Oops, duty calls. I'd better get to it. Ya'll take it light. Frye (who else?) again.
