 @ElleGray my favourite was sitting in a big waiting room at a university hospital to get my tooth fixed and there was a sweets vending machine @ElleGray and then they were like "Mr. Roth here for the tooth fix? Why are you sitting here? Totally wrong!β like I did something wrong. And then they sat me right in front of that waiting room in the corridor on a single chair. I still think about what that madness was about π€   @ElleGray I'm a nurse that works in a major academic medical institution and I can tell you the prices are like an airport on steroids so someone using a 200K endoscope is not that far fetched  @ElleGray "Doesn't say anything about orthopaedics!! *Sound of power saw starting*  @ElleGray I feel like if I'm having a colonoscopy and they find a bag of Doritos up there they should be allowed to keep it   @ElleGray my appetite is lower now so i get it.   Anyone ingenious enough to do this should be rewarded, not reprimanded IMO. Anyway, better uo a vending machine than up my arse. Also, nothing in that cabinet even come sclose to qualifying as "food", as far as I can see.  I don't see the problem. The endoscopy equipment is made to go up the chute to find a world of shitty junk food in any scenario. Although perhaps this is bad because they've cut out the paying middleman, the patient? (/s) @ElleGray @inthehands I think people are mistaking this thoughtful suggestion for a prohibition.  @inthehands @ElleGray And THAT story reminds me of the legendary fish cannery that sold cheap undyed white salmon with the label βGuaranteed not to turn pink in the can.β    Oh, to be passed out slumped next to an empty vending machine on a crinkly bed of shining wrappers, a deeply satisfied lump of human jerky, cured from all the delicious salty snacks, endoscopy tools cradled like a baby in one shriveled arm.π Also, something Quincy M.E. would do daily.π |
@ElleGray This is *brilliant*
