       Notes on an overheard conversation while leaving a doctor's office
                                        
“There! Your flu shot is over with. That wasn't so bad, was it?” 

“What? You didn't hear my blood-curdling screams?” 

“No.” 

“Hrm. They must have good sound-proofing in the stabity-stab room.” 

“I bet it didn't hurt at all. I didn't feel it when I got my flu shot.” 

“It was the pain of a thousand suns searing through my skin.” 

“That was just the alcohol wipe.”
