From Parallel To Perpendicular
(In our hospital sleep lab, we have a bunch of rooms with beds for people to sleep on. Every room is monitored and recorded with a video camera so we can watch the patients while they’re sleeping. One day, my daughter’s math teacher came in…)
Me: “Hey, Mr. ***! Let me hook you up and you can get to sleep.”
Mr. ***: “Alright.”
(I hook him up and tell him to try to sleep as quickly as he can.¬†We don’t give our patients sleep medication because that could interfere with their normal sleep habits. As I return to the control room, I hear hysterical laughter.)
Me: “What’s going on?”
Coworker: “Who did you say that guy was?”
Me: “Oh! My daughter’s math teacher at her high school.”
(Everyone laughs harder.)
Me: “What is going on??”
(My coworker points to the screen showing Mr. ***’s room. He’s masturbating.)
Me, over the intercom: “MR. ***, PLEASE! You are being recorded!”
Mr. ***: “But you said to go to sleep as fast as I can!” ¬†
Me: “That’s not appropriate!”
Mr. ***: “Well, fine! I guess a man can’t get any privacy when he’s trying to sleep!¬†YOU’RE inappropriate! Why the h*** were you watching me?!” *gets dressed and storms out of the hospital*
