Conversation in the Pirate household

Discussing where to go for our 10-year anniversary.
Me: "Hey, let's go to Fall River, Massachusetts!"
Him: "Uh. What's there?"
Me: "The Lizzie Borden House! It's a B&B! And our anniversary is the anniversary of the murders!"
Him: "Go to sleep."

Hospital Fail!

Granted, this was not a tragic screwup. As in nobody is hurt or dead because of it. But when your father's back in the hospital because he's developed atrial fibrillation after a double bypass, and you get a call at 11:45 p.m., you are going to freak out. When the call is because your father was transferred to the hospital a new cardio procedure is going to be done at and the staff is cleaning out his room and finds a pair of shoes, that call can damn well wait until the morning! Seriously, staff at Monmouth Medical Center, don't you realize what that's going to do to someone's heart? You're on the heart unit fer chrissakes!
