Here we are in the midst of my telling Stephan a story about someone we know. You can clearly see how the story diverges into hilarity and hijinks.
Me: “So, he went to
the doctor, and the doctor said…”
Stephan: “No more
monkeys jumping on the bed?”
Me: “Exactly. And, how does that doctor even have a medical
license, if that is his only diagnosis? “
Stephan: “You’d think
the authorities would have been alerted by now to that kind of malpractice.”
Me: “Where did that
doctor go to medical school, I wonder?
Stephan: “What, did he get his medical degree online? University of Phoenix?”
Me: “It’s a shame,
really. Clearly a second opinion is needed here."
Stephan: “So, what
was the actual end of the story?”
Me: “Never mind, this
is much more entertaining.”
