FROM THE DOCTOR'S DINING ROOM...The other day while eating in the physician's dining room w/two co-workers, I heard a brief, yet (to me) exchange:
Kathy: "Is tonight 'date night" for you still?"
Mike: "Yeah. What are you doing?"
Kathy: "I have to go to Carol's and sit Shiva then go get new tires"
(pause)
Mike: ".....what kind of tires?"
I started laughing...I couldn't help it. On so many levels this was funny. Mike never inquired about the deceased or this Carol person. Just knowing what I knew about these two - neither could possibly know what Shiva was in the first place. I would have assumed that would have been THE follow-up question.
But most of all - Mike's delivery was flawless.
