Funny how that happens....

Hospital smells... many people complain about them, but I never notice them anymore. Well, I shouldn't say never... after a nice long vacation I do, for just a minute sometimes.

Other smells that I love in the hospital: bacon frying early in the morning. Sometimes the ventilation system carries the scent all over the hospital; Popcorn... every unit has a microwave now.

However, burnt popcorn smells awful. Now, almost all nurses have college degrees anymore, right? So... they should be able to operate a microwave, right?

Wrong. Sadly wrong. Because 25% (just a rough estimate...)of the time, those nurses burn the damned popcorn.

On the other hand, maybe they are trying to cover up more offensive smells... like GI bleed effluvium or that peculiar odor emitted by lotsa booze and pizza mixed with gastric secretions...

There are many times when smoking and the associated sinusitis has its advantages, y'know.

No, I don't know how I got started on this.... but I know how to end it.

With a horizontal rule, of course.

Horizontal rules rule, y'know. Otherwise, we'd only have vertical rules and slanted rules, shit, what a world that would be! Besides that, horizontal kinda indicates resting, and everyone knows that all of the troubles of the world were caused by people who don't rest enough. Just go-go-go, causing trouble all of the time. Way too tightly wound. Otta be a law.

O'wait! Them are the damn people who are making all of the damn laws! There otta be a rule, then...

OK, getting sillier by the minute, must be time to put the body and the head to bed.

One more night to go.... I'm gonna make it the entire seven days this time!
