Is there any possibility something needs stitching? That might be why he wants you to go to the ER.

I went through that. I heard the nurse talk with him and heard him say I needed to go to emergency. It seems odd, but I'm not up to arguing today.
He is part of a practice, but the other docs are even more booked up then he is, typically, so I'd be shocked if either of them were available. Luckily we have a small local hospital, so it is not like going to a big emergency room.

Librarian Warlord
MG, I'd probably stop at the bookstore/library on my way to the ER and think of it as a chance to indulge myself in a little uninterrupted reading time.
Congratulations on the job, sj! (Isn't all lingerie "little" sort of by definitition -- smaller than other things I wear, for certain)

Whoot! Good job, sj. In more than one meaning of the word.
Suzi, sorry for the owies. Cat scratches can be very nasty things. Better to get it checked out now, than later after somethings had a chance to get infected.

Yay for Annabel's elbow being back where it's supposed to be.
Yay for no cancer.
Boo for cat injuries.
In mememe news, one of our friends just got a very big award ($10,000 big). We found out about it because she sent a couple huge and fancy LeapFrog toys to Mallory. I'm still trying to figure out what I did to deserve such sweet and generous friends.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Okay, I have a question that I'd love some input on.
How do you react when someone pulls the "Can't you take a *joke*?" line after they do/say hurtful, asshole-ish things?
This hasn't happened to me recently, but something I read last night reminded me of it, and of the fact that I never, ever know how to shoot them down and tell them that no, it's *not* funny; it's abusive. I try, but it's kryptonite to me.
Jerk: "What -- can't you take a *joke*?"
Me: "That's *not* a joke. Jokes are funny. That was hurtful."
Jerk: "I can't help it if you don't have a good sense of humor."
Me: "I have a great sense of humor, actually, which is how I know that wasn't a joke."
Jerk: "Jeez, lighten up! I just meant it as a joke and you took it the wrong way!"
For me, that's a no-win situation. I can't think of any effective way to respond.
Thoughts?
