h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That's what someone at our Doctors surgery has. According to Mother they've installed one of these "Press 1 for...." answering systems, she wanted to speak to one of the receptionists so hung on, while she was on hold they played some music,

This is the twisted humour,

It was Mack the Knife

Why? Well long as the patience have a sense of humour too

heh heh heh

Could be worse...could have been 'suicide is painless'

Mac the knife I can think of alot worse, Crazey frog now that would make you feel ill.

Now the drugs don't work,
They just make you worse.

Mum said it couldn't do much for people waiting for test results to see if they needed surgery, which, ironically, was the reason mum was ringing the Doc in the first place. She doesn't need surgery but my sister does, she'd got fluid on the elbow

Yuk- hope everything turns out OK for your mum and sister.

But Mack the Knife?!?

Maybe it's just us that saw something funny in it

by the time she'd have got through to a real voice/person, she would have got better


press 1 etc are modern day rip offs to make money, its an easy con job

'Fraid so unfortunatly you don't have a lot of choice
