A Note on Miss Manners

Overheard at my store today, while helping two emergency room techs and their wives.

"We had a weird one this week. A guy came in with a spoon stuck in his eye."

Disbelief from all who were listening.

"Yeah, we asked him how it got there and he said he had a seizure and he stuck it in his eye."

Disbelief continues but heads begin to nod in understanding.

"So we asked him if he was taking any medications or if anything like this had ever happened before. He said, 'Yeah, just last year the same thing happened, I stuck a spoon in my eye.'"

I interjected out of sheer disbelief, "You mean he lodged a spoon in his eye not just once but twice?"

"Yeah, we sent him up to psych."

And to think, these people are driving the same roads as all of us. Scoop that ice cream carefully!!!
