Rx for Humor

From the sublime to ridiculous . . .

all in one afternoon at the Army Hospital. This particular hospital has a huge Wounded Warrior care unit & you can not walk down one single corridor without poignant reminders that many servicemembers are making incredibly huge sacrifices.

While I was riding in the elevator & I couldn't help but butt into a very quick conversation (ok, I was too lazy to actually walk from the 5th to the 3rd floor & we all know it's difficult for me to keep my mouth shut) :

Woman #1: Oh, a Korea assignment?

Woman #2: Wow, is that supposed to be good or bad?

Me: I hear it can be great. It all depends on your attitude.

Soldier with a prosthetic leg: Yes, ma'am. Attitude is everything.

I couldn't agree more. Apparently, his is awesome & makes me proud of the individuals who serve in our military. And, humbled to share the same medical treatment facilities.

Afterwards, I got off the elevator & made my way over to the gynecology clinic. Just in case you didn't catch that transition, this is where I'll insert the ridiculous.

So, here I am (again) in stirrups staring at the ceiling.

At beautiful landscapes straight from Holland.

(As a matter of fact, I did take this picture. Keukenhof, May 2006)

Then I started cracking up . . .

And asked the intern and the chaperone (seriously, do I need an audience?!) if I was the only one who was amused by the TULIPS on the ceiling. Bwah-hahaha! Get it?

Two . . .

uh, never mind.

Ok, Savvy, shut. up. now. While you still have a chance for that Infertility Clinic referral. Keep talking & it's probably straight to Psychiatry for you.
