Payback… It’s A Bitch


*ring, ring*

AD (groggily): “Huh, who, whazzis… um, hello?”

Ex Wife: “Hey, are the batteries charged on your cardiac monitors?”

AD (confused): “Uuuuhhh… yeah, I suppose I could find some hot batteries. Why?”

Ex Wife: “Husband In Law is getting dizzy when he stands up. I’d like to see what his rhythm his before I decide to schlep him over to the ER.”

AD: “Um, okay.”

Ex Wife: “We’re right around the corner.”

*five minutes later*

AD: “Sorry dude, I couldn’t resist.”

HIL:Not funny.”

Ex Wife: “So it’s normal sinus rhythm?”

AD: “Other than being a little fast because he’s out of shape, yeah.”

HIL (to Ex Wife):Told you it was nothing serious.”

AD: “My work here is done. I’m going back to bed.”

Three monitoring electrodes: 50 cents

Interpretation of cardiac rhythm: No charge

The look on Husband In Law’s face when you mutter “Oh shit!” and scramble for the defibrillator paddles: PRICELESS
