What to do if your arm falls off

In this chaotic world, we all deserve to laugh at least once a day!   I sometimes forget that, though, so I appreciate people who catch me off-guard and say something that makes me chuckle—especially if it happens when I least expect it.

Last Saturday, I went to the mall to get an H1N1 vaccination.  We’d heard they would have plenty of doses, and I had to be near there anyway, so I figured “what the heck…I’ll give it a shot.” (NO PUN INTENDED… )

At the mall, I walked up to the first table, gave them my name and address, went to another table and answered a question, and then went to yet another table for the injection. Of the two young nurses-in-training from NOC , one gave me a shot while the other one and I exchanged small talk.

When it was over, the “shot” girl gave me a handout with information about H1N1 symtoms, things to watch for after receiving the vaccine, etc. I asked if there was anything else I needed to know, and the “small talk” girl looked at me seriously and said, “If your arm falls off, pick it up.”

Is it just me or was that pretty funny?!
