When we first got to Florida our old Long haired Doxie was in need of some medication. The vet told DW that it was cheaper to have it filled with the human form of the medication as opposed to the vetenary form. DW took the prescription to a local Walgreens to have it filled. When she went to pick up the prescription for "Hairy - K-9" the young pharmacy tech looked up the prescription, then asked for MR. K-9's social security number and date of birth. DW explained that Hairy was a dog and as such did not have a SSN and his date of birth was only an estimate.
The tech insisted that Mr. K-9 would need to have an accurate DOB and SSN before she could issue the medication. Once again DW tried to explain and again was told that the information was needed and that if she did not have the information then maybe Mr. K-9 could come in and provide the needed info.
After another attempt to explain the situation, DW asked her to look at the original script for the prescription and note that it was issued by a vetrinarian and that once again, Mr. K-9 was indeed a dog. It took 4 attempts for the tech to understand the situation and DW finally got the prescription from a suspicious and somewhat confused pharmacy tech.

I'm a teacher of kids who describe themselves as the "movers and shakers" of our high school (the Advanced Placement literature kids). Once, when teaching the meaning of the literary term allusion, I used a passage from a poem that made an allusion to Mona Lisa. I asked for a volunteer to explain the reference. One of the more interesting characters in the class flung up his hand and shouted, "I know who she is. She's that lady over in China or somewhere who kinda dresses like a poor nun or priest and she helps the people because she gives all her stuff to them." It took a moment, and then it dawned on me: Mother Teresa. He thought the allusion to Mona Lisa was a reference to Mother Teresa, the "lady who sort of dresses like a poor nun." Yes, sgtpp214, you're right--they certainly do reproduce.

True Story, Last month DW and I decided to try some of McDonalds coffee. It was evening so we thought we would order "Half Decaf". The employee couldn't fill the order since they do not make half decaf. The poor girl even asked her supervisor who said "We dont do that"
