My brother said that one of the reasons he likes talking to me is because stories about my job include sentences that no one else can say. (Clearly he hasn’t been hanging out with enough puppeteers.) So he suggested that I start a top-ten list of things I can say at my job that you can’t.
10. Make that rod go really deep. Yeah. That’s good.
9. If you want Elvis, we have to take the Mayor’s head off first.
8. Remember that time when we were elephant’s?
7. The Emerald City fell on me.
6. I’m going to need talcum powder to get out of Ziggy’s hands.
5. I’m sticking to the leather.
4. We need to spend more time with the Harpy.
3. Head! I see head!
2. I spent all morning riding his rod.
1. C’mon! The rats are getting heavy.
Some of those require an explaination.
I think you might be missing out on the point of the fun…
One thing I can say at work that you can’t: Let’s kill the patient, bring him back to life, and see what happens!
Oh LOL! Thanks Mary!
I miss the cool jargony phrases that came with my profession:
“Woah… check out the supraorbital torus on that guy. And is that an occipital bun?”
“Yup. What a Neanderthal.”
Thanks for sharing your top ten. They’re great.
I get to say:
“What’s money in the face of beauty and love?”
“What’s your pain threshold?”
and
“Oh, just hit it with the laser”
