I was at the doctor, yeah the doctors office... and I got asked the most ridiculous questions by his new "cancer grief counselor", which should be a name for one who asks the most retarded........Carlos Mencia Dee Dee Dee like questions.
Ok here are the examples and questions.,...
One... do you ever feel like giving up and if so have you tried suicide? TO which my reply was.... Umm nope... have way too much to live for..... I am gonna see some guy in a flight suit with harness and all someday and if that aint enough to live for I got eight little people who need mommy to run interference with daddy for them. ( Imagine the hubby on the girls first date......can we say ... umm cleaning guns?)
The second was do I ever get depressed and how does my hubby's job and possible deployment make me feel... I told her I was excited..... one less mouth to feed and I wouldn't have to wash his clothes... YAY for laundry reduction. ( Its not like I get the fringe benefits for the extra laundry until we get the docs ok...LOL)
Then to top it all off ...... the counselor then asked if I was ready for another surgery or if I felt like throwing in the towel... refer to answer 1... and then told her that I really was ok with life right now,..... and I had wonderful loving family and friends who would no doubt hog tie me should i decide to quit... LOL..... and one such set of friends who have no compuction in yelling at me should the need arise.... looks pointedly at DOc.....Barb... JEff and Scott. Yeah that would be one fun filled scream fest....... but somehow I think Im gonna do the surgery. ( Besides that I will be able to wear my fav outfit to a bar after that..... Leather mini....halter top... thigh high stilleto boots...... and garters..... yup that is gonna be one fun night... after all is said and done.... fun torture filled night for hubster lmao)
Ok back to yalls regular programming...
OH and Yeah anyone ever been to deployment whine fest.... oops I meant deployement wives briefing?
I went to one this am.... and a young wife.....who has no kids spent 1 and half hours crying cause her hubby is going to Iraq..... Umm back me up here.... yes he is gonna be in harms way but as he is MILITARY and was when ya married him it was a given you were gonna face this at ONE time or ANOTHER....... so suck it up princess and or don't marry the hottie.
Damnit man..... then she whined at the unfairness of the military taking her hubby away....... umm refer to above...... and damnit man it aint rocket science........ shakes head....... climbs off of the soap box and wals over to get her coffee.

Okay- I'm about to give up the "Disney Dice" here...

Stupid questions? I'll even provide the 'stoopid responses' in "[ ]"

Try these:

What time's the 3 o'clock parade? [Hadn't you heard- it's at 4:30?]
Sitting in a theater- "Is this a ride?" ["Yup"]
Sitting in a ride- "This is just a big movie, right?" ["yup"]
Standing under a 17 by 23 foot sign marked "Entrance"- "Where do you go to get in?" [Over at Small World...]
"None of this is real, right?" [Referring to said Magic Kingdom] [Define "Real" Mam]
"My kid's gotta 'go'- can he pee in the bushes?" [Not unless I can bring my kid to pee at your house.]
Wearing a neon orange "prison" style flightsuit in front of Star Tours I've gotten "Do you work here?" [No Sir- the Warden should be calling my group back to the wagon any minute now...]
Tower of Terror- "Is my kid gonna like this?" [Does your child enjoy falling out of perfectly good buildings?]
Rockin' Roller Coaster- "This doesn't go fast does it?" [No- jet fighters travel slightly faster than you will at take-off]
"Is Walt still frozen inside Cinderella's castle?" [Yes Mam- for all our sins.]In case anyone's wondering, the folks at Disney know what the "real" question is and make sure that information is given properly and respectfully but admittedly, some of the things asked of those people can border on the truly bizarre to the down-right harrassing.

Case in point-

"Whatcha doin' after this ride, sweet stuff..." [That one has been posed to both males and females- and not necessarily of the "opposite gender"!]

Nuff said for now!

Yeah, those councelors can be a bit overbearing, but their job is to make sure you don't go into a decline. Standard questions, all of them, and while they may seem annoying, they serve a purpose in trying to establish how well you are dealing with your situation. Seems as if you're doing pretty well, judging by your response to them! That's great! Some people aren't as well-suited to cope.

WRT the other stuff, it reminds me of the kids who join the military and then are surprised that they have to go into the war, and they want no part of it. What part of the recruiting video did they miss here?

That is all

FX, your examples remind me of the routine that Bill Engvall does in the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour"....the "Here's Your Sign" routine. Have you ever heard it?

Stuff like your co-worker walks in and says to you "Are you still here?" and you answer "No, I left 10 minutes ago!" (Here's your sign)

Maybe during their courtship the young warrior told his girlfriend that he wanted to marry her. She replied with, "Only if you don't have to goto war...," he said maybe and she assumed that meant she could talk someone into not letting him leave.

Sounds familiar [but no- I've not seen it- sounds like he might have had 15 minutes of fame at Disney :p]

Some other doozies include:

"Can you tell me how to get to..." and then as you explain the intricateness of getting from one impossible location to the next they don't even stop walking...

Imagine rolling a 120lb "widow maker" stanchion from place-to-place and someone stands in front of you- blocking the way then asking "Do you work here?" [No- want a souvenir?]

Another favorite is watching some lout dragging his family behind him looking very much like a small pod of tied-together salmon pushing against the tide of humanity flowing out of a theater performance- then struggling even harder to reach automatically closing doors...

Exasperated, they then turn to you with a look of hazard in the eyes and utter "Is this the entrance?!" [You know; if you'd only used one of the kids as a war-hammer; you could have JUST made it!]

I'm saving it as a retirement book, but much like Murphy's Laws of Combat I've got 320 [and counting] Murphy's Laws of Cast[e] Membering... [yes, I spelled "caste" correctly.] Heaven help me if I open up that can of whoopazz... :D
