    Maybe she’ll call on them just to get rid of them.

    Aha! Funnier if you remember that Julie can’t spell.I googled “Jobe” …. found nothing that made sense…then I realised it’s probably supposed to be “Job.”As in “Burl has the patience of Job.”

    Speaking of patience…the pun on the wall reminds me of a sign I loved, in my doctor’s parking lot years ago:

    “Patient Parking Only.”

    I told him it cracked me up, but he couldn’t see why…which also cracked me up.

    And is the receptionist calling out “Harris” cos she can’t read “Wallace?”

    Sounds about right.

    And since when were Joy’s boobs conversation starters? Maybe if she named them Denali and Hood.Like purple, I cringe to wonder why Burl is so anxious to see the doc. What horribly kinky thoughts spring to mind. Ugh!

    Dogsniff…. yes, I was talking about the Bible story…but his name is spelled J-o-b, not J-o-b-e…

    It’s used metaphorically in connection with patience.

    But usually not patients…. well, except at my doctor’s office, where patients do need the patience of Job.

    The Pennys are out of filched medical supplies already? Burl’s non-malignant mole/freckle is acting up? Burl’s ready for another dose of disability? Are they at the Procto and is Burl on the cusp of poetic justice?

    @finaleThanks. You just made me think of the dreaded “bandit”, or “finger wave”. I’m a little nauseated right now…

    Yes Doctors all expect patients to have patience, unfortunately; that’s why I use the clinic in the pharmacy of a grocery to have blood tests taken. I can get very impatient when I’m fasting. I go first thing in the morning (no waiting) and I receive results by email in a couple of days.

    I used to be prediabetic, so I monitor and keep a spreadsheet of my readings. Now the only problem is blood pressure and neither of us wants to use any medicines (only vitamins). I ordered a Resperate device this week because I got $100 discount.
