On a recent run with the MICU (Mobile intensive care unit) I occasionaly ride on, we went out to an outlying hospital to take a kid (4mo) to the big children's hospital downtown. I go up to the nurse to get a report from her about the kid. As follows:

Nurse: The patient has some gangrene on his 6th digit of his left hand.

Me: Wait... you said 6th digit.

Nurse: Yes, his 6th digit.

Me: A six fingered man?

Nurse (now slightly aggravated): Yes.

Me: Damn.

I start opening closets and looking behind shelves.

Nurse: What are you doing???

Me: Just making sure there isn't a pissed off Spaniard looking ot avenge his father.

She just blinked and walked away.

At least the mother found it funny when I pointed the IV needle at the kid and said, with a Spanish accent, "You killed my father, prepare to die!"

Hmmm.....I wonder how many people will actually get the reference. I think I was about 11 or 12 and had just gotten cable TV when it was on HBO all the time. Can't tell you how many times I watched that movie that year.

I still tell my wife to "Have fun storming the castle!" whenever she goes somewhere.
