In a hospital emergency room somewhere in Miami . . . . . .
Nurse: Doctor!! Code Red incoming!!
Doctor: Code Red? What is it nurse?
Nurse: Well it means a patient that is critical has just arrived AND he has health insurance, but that?s not important right now.
Doctor: Wha?
Nurse: Come with me. <grabs doctors hand and takes him to an emergency exam room filled with terrified paramedics. On the table, with a good 2 feet of it?s legs and Gucci Clad feet hanging off, lays an unconscious 8 foot tall bi-pedal white tiger-like beast.>
Doctor: What is this, something new from the Armani line?
Nurse: No doctor, that fur is . . . umm attached.
Doctor: Dear LORD!!! He glued fur on himself!! I mean I can see that in Key West but this is Miami!!
Nurse: <sigh> No Doctor. This ?person? has unusual hair growth.
Doctor: Hair Growth! You call me in here for that!! Send him to a dermatologist.
Nurse: DOCTOR!! That?s not it. He was found lying on a sidewalk in South Beach.
Doctor: And that is unusual how? I mean we have plenty of homeless here.
Nurse: <Yanks of sheet> Wearing a silk Italian smoking jacket. Hugo Boss slacks. And an ascot??
Doctor: Hmmm. Dear Lord he has a diamond pinkie ring!!!
Nurse: <shudder>
Paramedic: We found this on him. <holds up an empty bottle of Crystal> And this <holds up an empty case of Cohibas>. And ?ahem? this <holds up a brochure from the Fort Lauderdale Hustler Club> And this <holds a wad of melted plastic>
Nurse: What the heck is that.
Paramedic: We think it?s what?s left of his credit cards.
Doctor: What are his vitals?
Paramedic: Well that?s the odd thing. His pulse seems to be somewhat of a latin beat. Salsa I think.
Doctor: <Doctor listens> No No. <looks thoughtful> I think it?s Meringue. His breathing?
Paramedic: I got close to his breath but the alcohol fumes drove me back.
Doctor: Alright let?s get these clothes off of him.
<a few minutes later>
Nurse: HE?S FURRY ALL OVER!!!
Doctor: NURSE!! Stop rubbing the patient!!
Nurse: But it?s sooo soft.
Doctor: NURSE!!
Paramedic: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!
Doctor: Hmm, he actually has a tattoo on his nether regions. It looks new. Hmmm, it says, ?Miami Escort Service, VIP Frequent Flyer Customer?
Nurse: WOW!! There?s room to print all of that.
Doctor: NURSE!!!
Nurse: Sorry doctor.
Doctor: Well I?ve seen this before. Hedonism Toxicity. Start an IV STAT!! Caffeine Push Drip!! Oh, and get me a CD of Country Western Music. HURRY IT UP!! He?s nearly comatose.
?
I?m back from Florida.
