"Well, you know... it was a slow day at the office. So I got think about temporary tattoos and I ordered up a bunch that I thought I could sell, sort of a side business. High quality temporary tattoos, go on with some water and a little pressure, come off with some scraping. So I think to myself: Who's got a lot of money to blow? Who's got a high pressure job where they could use a good laugh. And it hits me... so the tattoos all said the same thing: Do Not Resuscitate. You know, for doctors!" "Aw, geez. Aw, geez, and did they sell?" "The day they show up in the mail for me and I sign for 'em and open the box, I can hardly see 'em, I'm laughing so hard. My eyes teared up 'cause I'm thinking: Just think, a Doc buys some of these, slips 'em on another Doc's patient... great for a laugh! A little... hoo-ha! Gotcha!" "Uh huh. But weren't you worried--" "I mean doctors get stressed, you know. Seriously. I think they have a pretty high suicide rate. Not as high as cops, but still. Lots of... Poosh! Blowing the old brains out. So if I could help, just a tiny bit, help them get through their day... and get some money." "I'm just thinking it might be danger--" "So anyway, no, they didn't sell. No one thought they were funny, I guess. I had a website to sell them but I dunno. Maybe no doctors even saw the website." "You're crazy, Harry! Ain't he crazy!" "I guess, yeah. I was just-- they don't seem like a good idea." "But funny, yeah?" "What if someone died?" "Died, you're saying, from a tattoo? They wash off." "No, from not being resuscitated." "Right, right." "Well, I didn't sell any, so you don't have to worry. Instead, I just apply one to my own chest each day after I get out of the shower. Just to use 'em up. Should be good for a laugh if my ticker ever tries to take a vacation. I hope I'll be conscious enough to see the look on the paramedics face when he sees the tattoo!" "Ah! Ah ha ha! Oh, Harry, you kill me! You're CRAZY!" "Pretty funny, I guess. I dunno. I guess." |
