Matters of Graves Importance: Repeal of Prohibition Party happening Saturday
On Monday I evicted my gallbladder. All is well, so far. While I was being prepped, I heard a lady on the other side of the curtain tell someone "...they said you can leave your teeth in but I'm not sure about the piercings."
I was dying to see who was on the other side of that curtain but Dave, my nurse, wouldn’t open it. I told him he was mean. He also made me take a pregnancy test at the ripe old age of 51. I assured him and everyone back there I could save them the next few minutes as I was amused. They told me I needed to take it and as I handed over the cup I said “Look Dave, if this thing shows up positive you need to call the Vatican. We have bigger problems than my gallbladder."
I gave Dave a lot of heck, but he was a nice man. Thank you, sir, for making the process more fun. Your weekend will be a lot more fun if you check out some of the following events in Chillicothe.
