# When I was a nurse in training at the hospital, there were many residents learning the practical side of their doctors education. They were kept quite busy with long hours. One afternoon, I was working in the area of the examining rooms and as I walked down the hall I saw a resident doctor with a thermometer behind his ear. I didn’t think anything about it until I entered an examining room and saw a patient with a pen under his tongue.

* On a cold, snowy night in Boston, my friend Thea was to pick up her new car. I called to see how she made out. “Did you get the car?” I asked. “Yes,” she replied excitedly. “It’s right out in front of our apartment building, and we were just on our way down to sit in it. We’re not going to drive it, though.” “Yeah,” I replied, “I guess the weather is pretty lousy.” “It’s not that,” Thea said. “We just don’t want to lose our parking space!”

My grandfather was sipping a beer when he confessed to me that he drank more than usual the day before. “What is more than usual,” I asked. “A case.” “You can drink a case of beer in a day?” “Well,” he grumbled defensively, “it doesn’t take all day.”
