Ambulance Driver Files A Day in the Life | Kelly Grayson
A recent conversation with a friend:
Good Lawyer*: “Say, was I ever as sparky and idealistic as the EMS Newbie?”
Ambulance Driver: “Well, law school made you cynical before you were ever an EMT. But yeah, you were pretty damned sparky.”
GL: “Come on, really?”
AD: “Dude. Coyote Ugly, in Austin about six years ago. Remember the chick dancing on the bar with her boobs hanging out?”
GL: “Vaguely. You’re talking about the high chick?”
AD: “There we were, ogling a reasonably attractive, semi-clothed female dancing on the bar, with her rack exposed. And she’s already trumpeted the Texas Girl Mating Call, ‘I am druuuuunk, y’all!’ Remember what you said?”
GL: “Uummm…”
AD: “You said, ‘Did you get a look at her pupils? That chick’s high as a kite.’ Heck, at that point, I hadn’t even noticed that she had eyes, much less the size of her pupils.”
GL (defensively): “Well, you shoulda seen ’em! Her pupils were huge.”
AD: “I wish to revise my statement. I didn’t mean you were sparky. You still are. Sparky McSparklemedic, that’s you.”
*So named because he’s a paramedic, too.
