Me: How are you this morning?

Mrs Poestop: I’m OK. My tummy’s a bit sore but that’s because my family is making me so angry and I have to clench my belly to hold it in.

Me: What about this big cut from the operation?

Mrs Poestop: Ow! Don’t you touch that! It’s sore.

Me: OK. How have you been apart from your tummy?

Mrs Poestop: I was fine until the other day when I had to go to the dentist. Then that’s how this all started.

Me: Do you know where we are at the moment?

Mrs Poestop: Of course I do! This is the hospital. They keep telling me it’s the hospital.

Me: That’s right. Good.

Mrs Poestop: Its only the ducks that cause trouble.
