Yo... on the flow net this thread of misshaps in our common language is
always fun.....  this is my true story doing an ER gallbladder scan
(a-cute RUQ post prandial pain and abn LFT's).....  So I axes the patient
if she'd been in the hospital before and she says lordy yes....  " I was
really out of it, but I came thru it okay "   "for what I asked?" and she
says...  " The Smile'n Mighty Jeasus"  " What?"  Okay, excuse me for
askin'......  but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what disease
she was talking about.....  The ER doc knew and let me stew for a couple
of days before he just mentions  spinal menegitius during a
conversation....... ring a bell???

BTW anyone got an idea for a new urban legend.....  I'm in need,  surely
we can come up with something better than Neiman markus cookie recipie or
the stolen kidneys - call 911   scam......     to be continued.
