George,

 GP> I've learned to always check the order the doc writes and insist he
 GP> add "PRN" to every night time med, especially sleeping pills.

  The strongest thing I have for pain is Ibuprofen (400 or 800 milligrams).
I don't have any sleeping pills, per se.

 GP> I'd say, simply, "All right; you first, though. . ."

  That's like country-western star Bobby Bear (the first country singer,
who would really be a swinger, and streak through the Opryland Park (that
was actually a song years ago)) noted when he was to get the physical
before getting inducted into the military. When the doctor said "Take off
all your clothes", he replied "You first". <G>

 GP> Classic! I heard it as "It looks a bit cloudy" & he says, "No problem,
 GP> I'll filter it through again," & guzzle guzzle gulp. . .

  I would've loved to been a fly on the wall when that happened. <G>

 GP> I can see that happening. . . I've been in those cold wards!

  When I was in the Emergency Room, when I was initially diagnosed with
atrial flutter...and then finally moved to a room, the air conditioning
wasn't working in either one. I was soaked with sweat in that hospital
gown...so, one of the female nurses gave me a nice bath. That nice warm
water sure felt good. <G>

 GP> I have a lot of days like this these days. .  or I'd eye her up & down
 GP> & then ask what kind of soup is it?

  My favorite was vegetable beef...although I haven't had soup in a long
time. I had stayed away from corn, as it aggravated my diverticulitis. I
did have corn with a couple of meals in the hospital, and amazingly, it
didn't give my colon fits. 

  Before I started having trouble with it (neither corn or gum will digest, 
but "go right on through"), corn and I were the best of friends. Whether 
whole kernel, creamed, fried, or on the cob; just sit me down with a side 
of butter, and plenty of napkins, and I was happy as a pig in slop. :P

 GP> It's like the old lady in a home, who got bored, tied a towel around
 GP> her neck, like a cape and ran around yelling "Super sex" 9/10 of the
 GP> gents on the ward asked for the soup!  The 10th was a relative of
 GP> Little Johnny & answered reflexively to the only word he heard.

  Little Johnny Know It All. <G>

 GP> Guess we should leave these for the FUNNY echo, eh? We're in MEMORIES
 GP> currently.

  Some of the bloopers or deals on the old time TV and radio shows are an
absolute hoot.

  It sounded like Edgar Bergen and his dummy Charlie McCarthy were always
at odds with W.C. Fields...but it was all part of the routine. In one
routine, Charlie was just berating Fields, and Edgar admonished him that
"Charlie!! Mr. Fields is not a well man". Fields replies "That's right,
Edgar. I've been a fragile thing of beauty, ever since I was born". To
which, Charlie retorts, "Why, you weren't born!! You were squeezed out
of a bar rag!!". <G>
