Have you ever thought….
"Have you ever thought about leaving the hospital?" Sue asked Caroline as she sat in her office.
"No, why would I leave the hospital?"
"Well I just heard there's a shortage of lollipop ladies; I thought that's something you might be interested in."
"No. Why would you think I'd be interested in being a lollipop lady?"
"I just thought you'd look quite good in a fluorescent yellow coat holding a big lollipop."
"No – look I only came to ask…"
"Or you could try being a zoo keeper."
"A zookeeper? I only wanted…"
"Yes, you wouldn't even have to worry about lunch, I don't think they mind much if you just stole one of the rabbits."
"One of the rabbits? I'm not going to steal a rabbit."
"You could have rabbit stew."
"Look I…"
"Rabbit pie."
"Can you just…"
"Welsh rabbit."
"Its rarebit actually."
"Rabbit on toast."
"All I wanted was…"
"Rabbit – rabbit – rabbit."
"Shut up!" Caroline screamed. Sue looked surprised and sat up in her chair. "Thank you. All I wanted to know was if I could borrow one of your pens, mine's just run out and I need to fill out this patient's chart."
"Oh. So no lollipop lady?"
"No."
"No, zookeeper?"
"No. Just a pen."
"Oh, in that case no, Mac stealer!"
"What did you call me?"
"Nothing, I said no you… Jack wheeler."
"No, you said Mac stealer."
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did, you called me a Mac stealer."
"Oh go and catch a rabbit!"
"But what about the pen?"
"What pen – leave I have very important work to do. I have a friend visiting at two. Now leave." Sue ordered looking down from her chair that had suddenly risen three feet up into the air. "Next!"
