Firemen Should Be Seen And Not Heard

We are enjoying dinner at a restaurant during the conference.  Present at the table are me,  six RN’s, two EMTs, a Fire Chief, an animal control officer, a pre-med student and the Health Department Public Information Officer.

Fire Chief:  The entire hospital campus is covered by closed-circuit TV, right?  So what does this idiot do but go out to a snow-covered parking lot at 2 o’clock in the morning and start cutting dildoes with an ambulance. (shrieks of laughter from the rest of the table)  What did I say?

RN:  Mike*, I think you meant “donuts,” not “dildoes.”  (to me)  Aren’t you and Mike giving a presentation together tomorrow?

Me:  (with my head buried in my hands)  Yes.

PIO:  Don’t let him ad-lib.
