Mr. Bernard Sheldon
walked across the waiting room to the cherry pine desk, un-noticed by the secretary
seated behind it. After a few more moments of ignorance, Mr. Sheldon cried “Please!
For the love of God! LOOK AT ME!”
The receptionist peered over
the side of the desk and looked at him. She was not sure what to say, because
she had never seen a talking fish stick before.
“um… Are you a fish stick?”
“Yes! Yes! I am a fish stick.
Ha ha ha – a talking fish stick, how
bizarre and freaky. I know. I was surprised myself when I first noticed it.
But here’s something: it gets old. I’m a fish stick, you’re a person. La-dee-da, lets get on with our lives.”
“um… you’re a fish stick…”
The fish stick slapped
the receptionist across the face. The fish stick is an abusive
asshole, which he became after many years of being looked down on because of
his fish sticky nature.
“Sonofabitch! I just went over this!
I want to make an appointment with the good doctor in there for next Tuesday,
if that is at all possible.”
“What should I put down for
you? ‘Fish stick at three o’clock?’”
“Ha ha! You could put down Mr. Bernard
Sheldon at three o’clock, because that’s my name, but you didn’t bother to ask
me that, did you?”
“I wasn’t aware that fish sticks
have names.”
“And I wasn’t aware that secretaries
were such bitches.”
After a brief staredown
between Mr. Sheldon and the secretary, the abusive talking fish stick let out
an exasperated sigh and stormed out in a huff, and, unluckily for him, wandered
straight into the path of a toddler that hadn’t eaten, and faster than you can
say ‘pass the tartar,’ Mr. Bernard Sheldon was on the long unpleasant road to
the youngsters diaper.
And that is why you should
always be nice to secretaries, and eat fish sticks before they grow up to be
embittered and abusive.
