Just been on the phone to my mum - we're having a family get-together tomorrow for her birthday
She was at the hospital the other day having a blood test. She was just about to leave when the nurse said "No, wait - I'm really sorry, but I've done the wrong test. I'll have to do another one."
So my mum sits down again, as the nurse continues to apologise. Then a thought struck the nurse: "I don't suppose Dr Fitz is your son?" She was obviously worried that she'd messed things up with a doctor's relative, and would be in loads of trouble.
"No," says my mum, "My son isn't a doctor."
<pause>
"He's a lawyer."
