TWO ADDITIONAL VISUAL CLUES FROM MY DOCTOR'S OTHER EXAMINATION ROOM THAT CONVINCE ME BEYOND A DOUBT OF THE NEED FOR ANOTHER PHYSICIAN [ME. OW, PART DEUX..]

Remember this? It happened again today during a follow-up visit.

Again with the cats at my doctor's office.

I particularly don't care for the body position of the cat on the left.

HOW CAN WE MISS YOU IF YOU WON'T GO AWAY?
['YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T LIKE HIM MUCH, BUT THIS IS GOOD CAKE.']


Greater love hath no cake

Lots of office going-away cakes these days. Too many.

Good thing they can sometimes be mildly entertaining in a poor-taste kind of way.

When I have to consult the lunar tables to determine what the best time for navigating my way across town, it's time to stop with the precipitation.

IRONY OR COINCIDENCE? [YEAH, BUT THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY ABSORBANT]


Mardi Gras napkins

Any association between New Orleans and the need to soak up liquids in an emergency are entirely coincidental yet still distasteful.



PREVIOUS EPISODES OF "IRONY OR COINCIDENCE?"

Ice pick to the eardrums, anyone?

Run away, Batchelor!

Coke is it.

He chutes, does not score.

Light one up, dude.

T-shirt hell.

GIVE ME SOME PEANUTS AND A PRICE CHECK ON AISLE 4 [THE COST OF A BASEBALL BELLY FLOP]

So the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have dropped too many a few games consecutively against good teams some okay teams.

No big whoop.

Kids are still excited enough to get Devil Rays color-schemed rubberbands on their braces.

But there are some signs that perhaps the bandwagon is getting lighter.

Sure, Publix still sells Rays peanuts...


Tampa Bay Rays peanuts without a price at Publix

...they're just not sure how much they should cost. Or if they should cost anything at all.

HI, TOWELIE! [THE KURT PROJECT BEGINS]

My friend and colleague Kurt got a new job at a different company a couple weeks ago.

His relocation hasn't stopped the press kits from rolling in the door at work.

His friends at National Geographic sent this lovely gift.

The Kurt Towel

It's a lovely, plush towel. Makes sense. When you think National Geographic, you naturally think luxury cotton products.

And it's been monogrammed with his name. Probably so he couldn't turn around and sell it on eBay, I'm guessing.

Not that any professional journalist would ever do that. Kurt certainly never would have.

Only problem: I won't see Kurt for a while in order to give it to him.

Seems a shame to waste all that good towel until I do. I think Kurt would agree.

Phil headshot

This is Phil. Phil is my muse.

I have made photographs of Phil in a variety of poses.

Wearing only a towel has not been one of them.

Phil enjoys some "coverage"

You have no idea how hard it is to get a hypochondriac to strip down in a newsroom for a candid photograph.

Phil enjoys some "coverage"

This is as close as we could get.


Mike

This is Mike.


Mike towels off

This was Mike's last day on the job. He's leaving, too, just like Kurt.

Mike didn't get a nice towel in a press kit from National Geographic. Not yet, anyway. (He did, however clean up in the going-away booze and cigar departments, courtesy of co-workers.)

We didn't think it was fair to deny him access to quality cotton products. Especially since Mike has occasional perspiration problems.

Mike is very hairy.

There. All better.


Now, don't tell Kurt about our little project, kids. It will be our little secret.

Where will the towel go next?

Better yet, where should the towel go next?
