God one. Obstetrician, but good one.
When I was in 8th grade, teachers may have been a little more sadistic than now. One day we got an assignment the teacher said was about following instructions and it was to be done in class. At the top of the page it stated that we were to read ALL of the instructions before beginning anything. Then there were instructions to do a bunch of silly, embarrassing stuff, jumping jacks, writing stuff on the blackboard, etc. I was dreading it. One by one, kids were getting up and beginning the tasks. But I kept reading. At the end it said something to the effect we were to disregard everything that went before, not do any of it.
It was one of the most memorable lessons I had in school, but it’s important to remember that it was a lesson about following instructions, not how smart you are. I think that most of the people who did it wrong are making more money than I am today and the girls(a lot of the ones who did it wrong were girls) married better than me.
My answer is "Of course"
Pregnant pause...."May I ask who is calling?" "Oh, I thought you were asking if you could ask"....
....EVERYONE PLEASES EVERYONE ELSE....
SOME BY ENTERING A ROOM, OTHERS BY LEAVING.
