Grins & Giggles Ladies Foursome A foursome of ladies came back after a round of golf. At the 19th hole in the clubhouse, the pro – Ross – politely asked them, ‘How did your game go?’ The first said that she had a good round with 25 riders. The second said that she did OK with 16 riders. The third said not too bad, since I had 10 riders. The fourth was disappointed and said that she played badly, with only two riders. Ross was confounded by the term “rider” but, not wanting to show his ignorance, just smiled and wished them better golf the next time. He then approached Jimmy the bartender, and asked, ‘Hey, Jimmy, can you tell me what does this term “riders” mean?’ Jimmy smiled as he explained to Ross that a “rider” is when you have hit a shot long enough to take a ride on a golf cart. Patience with the Patients Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman – already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet – who insisted that he didn’t need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down, I asked him if his wife was meeting him. “I don’t know,” he said. “She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.” CSANews | SUMMER 2018 | 51
