And one more from Carson, because I can't resist tormenting the doc! With apologies to Monty Python. :-)





MEMO

TO: Atlantis Expedition Members

FROM: Dr. Carson Beckett

RE: Infirmary rules and regulations

Ladies and gentlemen, although I would prefer to treat you all as adults, the recent behavior of a few of your colleagues has forced me to develop a list of ground rules for the infirmary:

1.) Please report all important symptoms and injuries to the medical staff when returning from off-world missions. Saying “I’m fine” with blood running down your arm is not very convincing.

2.) By important symptoms, I do not mean dry, flaky skin or itchy feet.

3.) Please refrain from referring to the infirmary as a prison.

4.) While personal items may be used by patients, it is important that other patients in the infirmary not be disturbed by this. As an example, singing and playing prison spirituals on one’s guitar is not helpful for people trying to rest. (See also Rule #3 above.)

5.) Alcoholism is an important cause of vitamin B12 deficiency. Anyone caught smuggling alcohol to patients will receive a vitamin B12 shot right in the arse. So will the intended recipient.

6.) There is no Rule #6.

Above all, please use common sense. I don’t think it’s too much to ask.

... And that is the point I cracked up.

Ha! I like how you can tell who each rule is directed at. Also,

please use common sense. I don't think it's too much to ask.

Carson, it clearly is too much to ask from this expedition. *g*

I think I've seen this somewhere before. (Wraithbait, maybe?) But this is still my favorite line.

As an example, singing and playing prison spirituals on one’s guitar is not helpful for people trying to rest.

I'm thinking someone needs to tell John that he is neither the reincarnation of Johnny Cash nor suddenly channeling Joaquin Phoenix?

But then, given John's attitude towards the infirmary, maybe that's the point. :)

6.) There is no Rule #6.

That one gets me every time.

Oh this was fuuuuuuun! All of them were fun! I think I especially liked... maybe I liked the "prison spirituals" best, but it's by a nose. This was fun all over! And I could SO hear Carson's voice in the last line!
