Arriving for medical appointment today: Richard to Receptionist: "Richard Riddle for 3:30 appointment with Dr. Beersmell." Receptionist: "He's not in today. He's ill."(Brushing hair off of forehead) Richard: "I know this is probably a silly question, but why didn't someone call me earlier so I wouldn't have had to drive ten miles?" Receptionist: Long pause......"I forgot."(Brush-Brush) Richard: I'll reschedule when he comes back. Thank you, Amber! copyright: richard riddle 04-22-2015

This actually happened today April 21, 2015. The names of Dr. Beersmell and Amber are fictitious. Any resemblance to persons living or dead, is purely coincidental.
