Geeklawyer fell over in a friends kitchen, banged his pinky & had to go to the local accident & emergency dept:
Doctor1: “ooh, that’s an impressive fracture. I’ll need to get a consultant to look at this.”
Consultant: “My, that is indeed an impressive fracture”
Geeklawyer was very distressed: but only because there was no-one he could sue for this but himself. Bugger.
But my dear..could there possibly be anything about you that isn’t impressive??
Apart from the Christmas decorations for the site, perhaps. Don’t go for overkill now will you?
Anyway, how did you fall over? Drunk again I assume.
I would have thought you’d be pleased that I accepted your suggestion to decorate - but of course that would leave you nothing to moan about. Drink, decorations to small, present not expensive enough. Are you going to blame me for global warming too? Cow
Are they Christmas decorations? Good grief… You need to have major wounds… a wrist hanging off…. perhaps a fracture to the head, just above the eyes… to merit sympathy. a pinkie?… what in god’s name do you do with your pinkie?
I wish you a speedy recovery. I remember removing a tooth many years ago in the jungle with a pair of plyers… because the pain was most inonvenient and interefered with my occupational needs at the time. It was painful… but… the relief, afterwards, was incredible. The tragedy is… i did… why do I feel that I can operate on myself. I stuck a crown which fell out the other day with superglue. Asked my PA to go down to Rymans and buy some. (I did not, needless to say, explain why I needed superglue. My PA is used to my ways… and just smiles.
Dentist was not too impressed when I popped in to see him professionally - with a crown which did not look (nor feel) quite right. Told me that if all his patients started doing their own conveyancing he would be out of a job. I was astonished. I had no idea that he was a conveyancer… mind you… he did seem to a bit hazy of dentistry.
Of course… I wish you well… as always… but… now…I retire, perchance to wake at 2.30 to watch some cricket… maybe we can win THIS test match?
We decorated IMPACT for Christmas today and hope that this puts you all in the Christmas spirit. It’s classy, we know.
To Charon: better not to ask what Geeklawyer does with his pinkie. Nor am I curious to know which of his activities have been adversely affected by this temporary disability…
Ruthie, has now discovered that truth about the cause of Geeklawyers injury. Ruthie will not reveal the details on the blog, but be assured they are not edifying. Rest assured Ruthie has distributed suitable advice about the circumstances and is taking Geeklawyer to the hospital for surgery tomorrow, since Geeklawyer has a pathological fear of dying under anaesthetic, and should he do so, wants Ruthie to be the last thing he sees.
Ruthie for her part is concerned about being mistaken as the next of kin and being forced to pay for the disposal of the body.
[…] And for the High Court judge (Thank heavens he doesn’t do IP/IT), X QC & Junior Junior who all apparently have it in for me here’s a picture of me in pain from by recent digital mishap. […]
One thing you would not want to hear from your doctor…
“Oops”
Yes, that would be worse still!
