THURSDAY!  FRIDAY EVE!  WHEW, what a week!  It's been a whirlwind since we got back from Mardi Gras.  First there was the annual Spring Barbecue here at the trailer park.  Now we realize that in most places it's still snowing, but here in Palm Springs it's 90 degrees.  Look, don't send us a bunch of emails about how we shouldn't "rub it in" - you choose to live in your tract home with your 2.3 kids and your Volvo station wagon (the safest car in the world our ass!) and guess what?  The weather sucks where you live - deal with it!  You could live in a trailer (double-wide) like us, let Children's Protective Services find decent parents for your kids (we did) and drive a 1982 Ford Taurus (like us) because it it's a "chick-mobile!"   But at least you could live someplace warm!

Anyway, after the Spring Barbecue we made appointments with the doctor to get our Oxycotin and Viagra prescriptions renewed.  The appointments were supposed to be this morning but around 8am (our clocks don't even have that time on them!) the office called and told us that a broken water main flooded the office so we'd have to reschedule.  Whatever!  Sounds like a bogus excuse to us but we can score a few tabs of what we need to get us by until the new appointment.  But here's what happened next.  The office finished calling everyone and then closed for the day putting their phones on forwarding to the Doctor's answering service - NOT!  They f'ing forwarded them to our phone by mistake! (NOT KIDDING!)

Here's how it went.  About every 5 minutes our phone would ring and after we'd say "hola!," the person on the other end would say, "...is this doctor xxxx?"  (name protected because he's not licensed in California).  Anyway, after explaining the issue a few times we figured it would just be easier if we pretended to be doctors, diagnosed their problems over the phone and suggested cures.  We also started answering the phone, "Doctor xxxx's office can I help you?"  because we thought that added credibility.  Folks, we actually got a woman to take her top off and do a self breast exam over the phone (NOT KIDDING!).  By about noon the doctor must have caught on because our phone quit ringing right after we told some guy that he should have an affair with his secretary because his test results show he's allergic to his wife.  Now we're kicking back having some ice cold Budweisers (proud sponsors of Riding4Beer!) and enjoying the memory of our short lived careers as doctors.  Who knew you needed a license?....

      
We played horseshoes at the Spring Barbecue - What a blast!                And the steaks sizzling on the grill were to die for!

      
They cancelled apointments because of this?                                      "Okay, next you need to slowly put your fingers...."
