Cerveza?  Beer?  I was offered a beverage meng!

Well, first I'd assess to ensure that the patient wasn't in immediate danger.  When dealing with broken ribs, there is always the possibility that a splinter of bone could puncture a lung.  Once I'm satisfied that he's in no danger, I would work on breathing, stretching, and perhaps some reiki therapy.  If, after treatment, the patient is still in discomfort, I would consider a mild pain medication, for a short time.

I think The Rockets President said something about beer.

TOMAS WALKS AWAY DISAPPOINTED



*****

I'd like $2 million for myself, with an additional $1 million donated to Doctors Without Borders.     

[Rob]

Thao, I'm very happy to do that. I'll add that to our confirmed deals now.

Diana, those the additional $1m come from our public relations budget?

[Mike Powers]

Where it is a part of Mr. Nguyen's contract, it would come out of the PR budget sir.  Crumpet? 

[Rob]

Please, buttered, thankyou.

[Mike Powers]

Actually sir, my apologies.  I seem to have made an error in my previous advisement to you.  Salaries come out of the 'Salary' budget sir.  Anything additional agreed upon, such as Mr. Nguyen's charitable donation, would come out of the 'incentives' budget.  I feel positively awful about cocking this up sir.  I do apologize. 

[Rob]

Don't worry about it. Remember though, in the Queen's language apologise is spelled with an S, not a Z. We aren't Neanderthal Americans are we?

[Mike Powers]

DIANA MARVELS AT HER PRESIDENTS ABILITY TO HEAR THE DIFFERENCE IN PRONUNCIATION.  SHE SECRETLY WONDERS WHERE WHY HER ENGLISH ACCENT FAILED HER, AND WHY SHE HAS BEEN CRAVING MCDONALDS LATELY.

[Rob]

Diana, wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth.

By the way, I'd like to get a cat for the office. What do you think of the name Florence?

[Mike Powers]

I'm terribly allergic sir.

[Rob]

Oh well nevermind, lets get a dog instead!

[Mike Powers]

I'm terribly allergic sir.

[Rob]

We're getting a dog.

*A-CHOO!!  A-CHOO!!*


The shelter brought this beast over sir....
