Cue Sheet – July 24th, 2007

CONFESSION

    Every time I read the underwriting credit that mentions "mobile phlebotomists," I have a barely suppressed urge to giggle. "Phlebotomists" is a funny word to begin with, and making them "mobile" is somehow hilarious.

For the sake of my dignity and the phlebotomists', I hope this contract expires before I lose control.
