Tell me a story

Welcome, Blackie Chan - interesting thread!

Hmmmmm - here is a true and very silly story,

I work in a child and adolescent psychiatry service.

We used to have to clamber into very small aircraft at regular intervals to see people in country centres - to our great chagrin and grumblings at 5.00 am on the cold, dark, wet tarmac.

One morning, a small group were heading off to a particular country town, ferrying, as it happened, a consignment of new toys to be used in the work down there.

The team psychiatrist, Dr X, as it happened, was carrying a large, brightly labelled, and NOT in its wrapping, Fisher Price Doctor's Set.

The pilot came to gather his little flock and read out people's names to check that all the ducklings were present and accounted for.

When he read out Dr X's name, (using the Doctor)he glanced up to see if there was a response, his eyes fell on the toy doctor's set, and he did a startled double take. The good doctor was, as is his wont, engaged in animated conversation, and noticed nothing, but another team member said quietly to the pilot: "It's all perfectly fine - he's a CHILD Psychiatrist."

There - I told you it was silly! Hey - it is only 5.20 am here - I couldn't sleep - whaddaya expect!

Any good story must have a good beginning. Capture their attention with something like, "Last night as I was masturbating and fantsizing about Hillary Clinton..."

Thanks nick, I was just about to have breakfast, suddenly I don't feel hungry.

Sorry to disturb your breakfast kev. I could have been worse. I could have said Janet Reno.

Nick, I will rest easy in not knowing who Janet Reno is.

My breakfast of Finney haddock will now be tuesday.
