always liked the Jake Johannsen bit about going to the ER
"First time you go to the ER you think it's going to be like it is on TV, doors swinging open with orderlies running around and people yelling 'stat'"
"What really happens is you get in line, and when you get to the front the check-in nurse says okay, time for some clipboard work."
"Yeah, but when can I get in to see the doctor?"
"You see that guy over there with his eyeball in a cup? You're after him"
