TSK: Never argue with a veteran.

Elderly male patient:
So's every spring I get this thing where my nose runs and my sinuses get all full-up and I start the cough and it just gets somethin' awful.
Cranquis:
Oh, that sounds like --
Patient *interrupting*:
And my eyes get all watery ta make me scratch my eyeballs out!
Cranquis:
I see. Well that sounds like --
Patient:
*interrupting*: It's malaria.
Cranquis:
-- seasonal allergies. Wait. What?
Patient:
Yep. Malaria, I tell ya. I had it in the Pacific during the War, and it comes back every spring to haunt me in my sinuses.
Cranquis:
Aaand... what does your family doctor usually do to cure the... malaria?
Patient:
He gives me these eye-drops and these "low-rate-a-deen" pills and it knocks the malaria right out!
Cranquis:
Terrific! That's just what ~I~ was gonna recommend!
This is excellent. Oh Loratadine thank you for doing wonders for allergies...
