Mary: "Dr. Grumpy's office, this is Mary."
Mr. Beef: "Hi, I need to get in today."
Mary: "We have nothing today. But tomorrow..."
Mr. Beef: "But I want to be seen today!"
Mary: "We're completely booked."
Mr. Beef: "But don't you have secret slots? Like the secret menu at Arby's or something? Is there a password?"
Of course there's a password. If you have to ask, you don't know it.
ReplyDeleteMary: "Oh, so you know about the secret slots?!"
ReplyDeleteMr.Beef:(Feeling self satisfied.)"Well, yes."
Mary:(matter of fact manner.) "Okay, what's the password?"
Mr. Beef:(Confused.) "I..I don't know? I thought you were going to tell me."
Mary:(Irritated.)"Well now, it wouldn't be much of a secret if I told you, would it?! Stop wasting
our time"! (Mary hangs up the phone.)
I like the Marx Bros. reference:

Like life, when you finally figure it out, they change it on you!
...Secret menus bring in money. Constantly open slots don't bring in money.
ReplyDeleteMary needs that mousepad I saw at the store the other day. It had a cushion at one end and said, "Headdesk here."
"Okay, but only if you REALLY want your treatment to be 'Animal Style...'"
ReplyDelete"And do I have to get out of my car to get treated, or do you have a drive-thru?"
ReplyDelete"Or is it one of those things where I have to tip the maƮtre d' to get seated right away, like at Arby's?"
ReplyDeleteMary: If you come in at 5 with 10 cases of Diet Coke, I might be able to convince the doctor to stay late and see you.
ReplyDeleteWait...what? Arby's has a secret menu? I'm intrigued but since I never eat at Arby's, not THAT intrigued.
ReplyDeletelol a secret slot must have a secret password
ReplyDeleteSecret slot? Like, the G-slot?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised he didn't use the "but I'm friends with Dr Grumpy...er we're more like family!"
ReplyDeleteWhat, no professional courtesy?
Mary totally should have offered him the slot at 14:73.
