A reader from “South Philly” responds to Nurse "I'll Break Her Nose" struggling with a rhinoplasty colleague that cheats on tips on girls night out and may be overdosing patients on Brevital.
I have never been so confused and delighted in my life. Tippi?! This is like one of those Russian dolls that just keeps burping out cuter and smaller versions of itself. How did I miss Tippi? I must have snuck in during the July blindspot because she came out of the bleu, as they say. Also, I'm not convinced this Chris Nathan person is not just another one of your clever ruses because two such geniuses in one family defies belief. This is GOLD. ⭐⭐⭐ "PUBLIC MATH" Jesus wept.
A confession and a complaint and a concern: there are two phrases that I stole from other people that I use far more often than I should. The first is the word "subtrivial." I would trade 250 random words from my vocabulary to have thought of that word.
The second, which brings me to my main point, is "public math." So my complaint is that the funniest thing in my entire post is something I didn't even write. My concern is that it is the only thing that you liked.
However, I would like to note, that "Jesus wept" is not exactly original either. So, basically two con artists have contributed to a post from a French woman qui n'existe pas and a man who purloins from the New Testament.
Alors, Jesus continues to weep.
The good news: I will be stealing "a Russian doll that keeps burping out cuter and smaller versions of itself," although I strongly suspect you did not think of that.
FIRST OF ALL, "public math" wasn't the funniest thing in the post - the funniest thing in the post was your brother's German crack, or even IBHN's "excessive hiccups," but since I don't do anyone's laundry but my own, "public math" was the first thing that made me LOL. Don't get me started on people who write manifestos in the Comments - there's an infamous, 2500 word two-part "Comment" making the rounds that had me so mad I vowed I would put out a hit on anyone who did that to me. Get in, get out - that's my philosophy - it's been working for Mr. Mr. Troy Ford for 24 years, and his "petite morts" are far too frightening to be faked.
B. "Jesus wept" is from "Derry Girls" not the Bible - I haven't been allowed near a Bible since I was discovered reciting it upside down and backwards from "memory" at Sunday School - I still have the restraining order to prove it.
ALSO, in fairness, Tippi didn't actually make an appearance in this particular post, which is a real shame because I L*O*V*E HER and her German rien de doux, which are the best part.
LASTLY, I did not steal my Russian dolls quip, though others may have noted their resemblance to burps - as Mother Ford used to say to pooping babies: "Just because you learned to do it on your own doesn't mean you invented it."
I read "...They say you’re a little light on the tip and a bit heavy on the Brevital..." in Bogarts voice & now I can't get it out of my head. This is technically The Goose Eggs Posts first post and I'm very much here for it, long may they continue.
The comments section is also a delight. Do what you want, but a Troy Ford meets the Nathan brothers collab would be life giving, just saying...
