Humor in Cultural Differences....

Its pretty amusing to me when I have absolutely no idea what therapists are talking about b/c of their different ways of calling things. Here's a story for ya: we've been seeing this guy in the ICU for a few days because his hands have been really swollen for no apparent reason. Anyway, I go in to work the other day and asked how "Colin" fared over the weekend. She goes "well, actually he took a turn for the worse so they had to take him to the theater!" I gave her a confused look and go..."the theater is supposed to make him better?" and she goes "oh yeah, depending on what went wrong with him." I was still not getting it. Here I was thinking what theater did they take him to? the auditorium to listen to a lecture or something? how strange! Anywho, turns out the "theater" is an operating room. Now it all made perfect sense! Theres things like that sometimes that really crack me up. Another time, one of the therapists couldn't remember my name when she was introducing me to someone, and she guessed Carmel! Carmel?! WHAT?! I thought that was a hilarious mishap, but turns out its actually a name here so they didn't think it was as funny as I did! Ok, thats all for now!
