An Unusual Kind of I.V.


My friend, Greg was being prepped for a medical procedure today and as the attending nurse hooked up a fresh IV bag she wisecracked, “This is 100% vodka!”

We all laughed and shook our heads saying, “She is a real card!” I think I might have even slapped my knee.

Several minutes later, when Greg began singing “Bohemian Rhapsody” at the top of his lungs we realized that she wasn’t kidding. Another clue was that he had rolled up his hospital gown and was using it as a hat.

By the way, I just got word that the procedure went well and, thankfully, he’s okay.

(…But his wife reports that he seems to have developed an unusual fondness for IVs.)
