Here's your sign....

If you know Bill Engval's comedy routine...that you understand my title here...

I get a phone call from the doctor's office to confirm my appointment tomorrow afternoon. I am going to the downtown office this time instead of the office out west, as I customarily do. So when I tell the gal that yes, I will be there...I proceed to ask for directions to the office.

She gives me the street name, and I confirm that I know where that is...and then ask, "Is the office building on the North or South side of the street?" Her response....."Well, which was are you coming from?" HUH?!?!?!?! Isn't North always North? No matter which way you are headed?

So I go ahead and tell her that I will be coming in on 2nd Avenue (This is a one way street that only goes North!), so she says...."which street is that? the one on the right or left side of Mercy?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!

This time I say...I'm coming in from down town...I will turn left on to Laurel...which side of the street is the clinic on? North or South? And her response was "I don't understand which way you are coming in." At this point I wanted to say...Look out your windows....See the BIG buildings?! That's down town!

Anyways...she puts me on hold saying that she needs to ask someone else. Finally someone intelligent answers my question....but Good Grief! Do they not teach directions anymore in school?

So yeah...to the confirmation caller...Here's your sign......
