I think it was just a stomach bug but it hit my dad pretty hard. We took him to Emergency just to be safe and once diagnosed they were pretty quick to show him the door. Chances are high you’ll pick up a worse infection in the hospital or you just might be seriously entertained in the waiting room. We listened as a doctor told this dazed guy on stretcher, “Dude, you can’t keep coming here. This is the fourth time this week.” And a hospital nurse came out to get a guy in a wheelchair. He looked down at the guy’s feet and said, “A little cold out there for flip flops ain’t it?”
In the waiting room my mom, Peggi and I sat next to a few people who were passed out. A couple of security guards were watching the Discovery Channel’s “Naked & Afraid” on a big screen tv. Naked idiots with blurry private parts in exotic locals saying the dumbest things. We were aghast.
At 3 AM the wackiest religious show I have ever seen (and I grew up in Catholic schools) came on with the prophet (profit) Peter Popoff (Bernie Madoff) hawking his miracle spring water. “God is going to set you free” he screamed. “Live debt-free with miracle spring water. Expect a check by divine transfer. You too can have all your bills paid in full. Funds transferred into your account supernaturally.”
“I have millionaire potential inside of me. Unexpected money is coming to me now. God has all the money in the world and he can distribute it anyway he likes. Miracle money, through a divine transfer. You need to get the anointed tool. Call the toll free number on the screen. Pray to Jesus.”
