We all took to kidding her boyfriend to not leave such obvious "love bites." He responded by saying (a little too gleefully, in my opinion) "go ahead dear, tell everyone what happened"<br /><br />It turned out that she notice that the collar of her blouse was a little wrinkled after she put it on and decide to iron it, and to "save time" (just like your patient Dr. Grumpy - maybe she is the same lady?) she decide to not take it off.

I remember several cases of young men deciding their shirts needed ironing *after* they had put them on. Being young and stupid they did not immediately see the need for taking said shirts off before commencing ironing....<br /><br />Hence their inclusion in the weekly accident report.Library-Gryffonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446982343602702829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-47843266823102111742013-03-21T02:20:44.840-04:002013-03-21T02:20:44.840-04:00Well, sounds stupid, HOWEVER!!
