Men just won't get it

My gynecologist died yesterday. He was only 45 and hadn't been sick for long. In fact, no one even knew he was sick until the rumors started floating around that he had died.

He was more than a great doctor. He was a wonderful human being. The doctor whose practice he took over even referred to him as "superman."

In times like this, you have to find something to smile about or you'll go nuts. This is definitely something men won't get: While the newsroom women were talking about this (three of four of us were his patients) one of the sports chicks came in and said she's going to have to find a new "scootch doctor." Of course the women got it (Scootch down a little, closer to the end of the table.) but, men being men, they thought she was being nasty. We had to laugh.
