Discerning

Mary returned from lunch to find an older fellow sitting in the lobby, quietly reading. We didn't have any patients scheduled for that time.


Mary: "Hi, can I help you, sir?"

Mr. Natgeo: (turns a page, doesn't look up) "Thank you, I have an appointment with Dr. Intouch."

Mary: "Her office is right across the hall, this is Drs. Grumpy & Pissy's office."

Mr. Natgeo: "I know, I told them I'm in here, they said they'll come get me when they're ready to take me back."

Mary: "Oh, okay. Her lobby must be packed today."

Mr. Natgeo: "No, it's just that you guys have much better magazines."
