fruit-cake with a side of rat poison

Well, its been a REALLY long time since my last post.... I've just been busy with life, I guess. But this little gem was so good, I absolutely had to share!


One of my receptionists just came to me laughing SO HARD... Here's the conversation she just had:
"Hi I was just making fruitcake, and my dog got into the rat poison. What do I do now?"
"Excuse me? Did you say you were making fruitcake? And the dog got into the rat poison?"
"Yes."
"How long ago did this happen? And how is the dog acting now?"
"Just a few minutes ago. And he's fine. He's just sitting on the couch watching Sesame Street and waiting for the fruitcake to come out of the oven."

Bwahahahaha!!!! She really wanted to ask if the fruitcake was for the evil in-laws, or some other "we don't claim them" relative.... As it turns out, the woman had a mouse problem, put some rat poison in the low cabinet behind the mixing bowls, and since the bowls were out of the way, the dog got into the poison. However, our staff STILL got the memo not to accept any fruitcake brought into the clinic this holiday season! ;)
