Strange Conversations

Ivan Seeking

Every once in awhile you have a conversation with someone that leaves you shaking your head, right? Here is one from today.

Me: I'd like to get my car serviced [make and model given, etc]
Her: What do you need done?
Me: My heater fan is failing intermittantly
Her: Does it work at all? I need to know what parts to order
Me: It acts like the motor is going out; like it has a bad winding on the rotor. If it doesn't start, it will after I get up to 60 mph or so and get air moving across the fan. But I guess it could be something in the speed control as well. [too much information!!!]
Her: Well I need to know for sure so I know what to order
Me: You mean you need to know what has failed?
Her: Yes
Me: Well I'm not sure. I was thinking maybe your mechanic could figure that out
Her: Oh, good point.

ER patient to ER receptionist: Hi, I have an inflamed second appendix I need to have removed.

Receptionist: Yes, right way, sir. And thank you for being so helpful - we just had a guy in here who called himself "Ivan Seeking" - he just kept complaining of abdominal pain, he wouldn't tell us what we were supposed to do!!

Ivan Seeking

You know, there is more humor in that than you know. When I was about 20 years old I was having abdominal pain; and pain where a guy really doesn't want it when I tried to lift something. It seemed like a classic hernia. So I went to the ER. The next thing I know the ER doc is ordering a CAT scan. "CAT scan?!?! Really?", said I, "I assumed it was just a hernia." So the doc came over, grabbed the goods, [cough], "Yeah, it's a hernia." Okay, thanks doc.

I didn't know you were in the hospital, but I'm glad to hear you're holding your own.

It appears that this time...the docs holdin' em!

Ivan Seeking

Somehow this thread seems to have taken a disturbing turn...

Since it's going that way, I'll say, you're lucky you were 20; for me it was 5.

Ivan Seeking

~ 20... For me it ended up being a real treat! I had nothing to do but to stay in bed, [take good drugs], watch every bit of rare and common NASA footage ever filmed for a couple of weeks, and then watch the very first launch of the Space Shuttle. It was a space nut's bonanza and a nerd's dream come true.

I was eating at a restaurant, and I overheard the lady in the next table ask the waiter:

are the mushrooms in dish X fresh?

The waiter replies, apparently without sarcasm :

Yes, ma'am, we just opened the can.

Drakkith

Buahaha!

Jimmy Snyder

I had a similar experience. I was picking out live lobsters to take home with me when the woman next to me asked the clerk, "Are these fresh?".
