Unfortunately, no one has seen or heard from the surgeon in weeks, since the Incident. The nurse says that she spoke with him at length on a wide variety of important subjects and that he had never been more eloquent. \u201cWill he be along shortly?\u201d you ask. \u201cI hired him to perform a specific job, and I would like him to do that.\u201d The nurse is appalled by this disrespect for the doctor\u2019s privacy. You lie there for several weeks, your chest flaps held open by clamps.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/commercialrelocationpros.com\/?p=1208\">The Global Economy Is Both Alive and Dead<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>You visit the zoo. <span>THE RHINO IS IN<\/span>, a large sign informs you. But you don\u2019t see any rhinoceroses, just some zookeepers crawling around in a rhino suit. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked with the rhinoceros for years,\u201d the zookeepers explain, when confronted. \u201cWe know exactly what he\u2019d do in this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we need to get another rhino, though?\u201d you ask. \u201cIs there a rhino in this zoo, currently?\u201d No one answers. You don\u2019t deserve an answer.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>Your child\u2019s babysitter has not been heard from in weeks. First Lady Edith Wilson is answering all correspondence on her behalf. \u201cThat\u2019s fine,\u201d you say. \u201cThere\u2019s precedent for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>You are watching the Olympics. The gymnasts simply don\u2019t show up! An ESPN commentator assures you that he called one of them and spoke for 20 minutes about the situation in Iran. \u201cDid you get any response?\u201d you ask. \u201cOr did you just talk to them?\u201d Everyone says this question is rude and ill-timed.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>You are at the dentist\u2019s office. No one has seen or heard from the dentist in months, but he\u2019s been making stock trades. \u201cThat\u2019s something,\u201d you and the receptionist agree. \u201cShould I wait?\u201d you ask.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s going on in due time,\u201d the receptionist says stiffly.
