Same ol' same ol'

So crazy past few weeks.
Changed my full time job place. Same job though. Same type of people. So far that is....havent come across any ahem... high risk patients from the shoot-em-up clinic downstairs yet.
Thus this means same patient stories.....

71 yr old man comes in today. Small talk ensues as usual.
He asks if I have a boyfriend. Sheesh! Ok Ok I guess I will just have to get used to this question. No avoiding it. Though, I am pretty sure he would not have asked the 69 yr old lady that just retired the same question...
Anyhoo... This time I say "Um... well..... maybe....." Thats it. Dont commit to an answer. If I say no then he will keep buggin me "Do you have a bf yet?" Then if I say yes who knows what other questions will come up... marriage... babies...etc.
So he responds "Well dont you and your bf get serious... it would make us all disappointed."
Ok - I'm not going to attempt to analyze this response.
Though he went on to say "Dont ever get married. That is the worse thing you can do"
Hummm you have an unhappy marriage sir?........ counsellors are that way-->
"Oh really why do you say that?" I ask couriously amused.
"Well, here in north america the divorce rate is so high. I look at it this way..... say 50 % of us are married and 50% of us are not married. Then among the 50% who are married, 50% of them live very very miserable lives and are very unhappy. That means there are really only 25% of the population here that are happily married. Thats pretty low. So dont get married."

"Ah I see.... Gotcha! Great then, I'm ahead of the game huh?"

The grass is always greener........
