Dan and I met at Estes Park for our medical school class retreat. I decided to run (unopposed) for class vice president, and this was my speech:
So. Yeah! I'm so
thrilled to be here. I can't WAIT to meet everyone. I know that I can prove, to
each and every one of you, that I am 100% responsible, serious about this job,
and a skeezy, shmoozing brown noser. And now, I will entertain you with some
gratuitous doctor jokes.
Did you hear about the
baby born in the high tech delivery room? --It was cordless!
Nurse, how is that
little boy doing, the one who swallowed 10 quarters? --No change yet!
I've never held a
formal officer position before. However, I did some babysitting in junior high
and high school. I totally think that counts. Haha. No, really... I've also
been a camp counselor. And a sexual assault peer counselor, on blahblah
committees, blahblah honor roll, an uber-liberal crusader writing on internet
forums for the good of mankind, a program director in pediatric burns at
Harborview hospital, and a stripper.
As you can see, I'm
probably overqualified. Fyi... that last bit was a joke. Not that there is
anything shameful about partaking in America's fine sex trade. Hookers are your
neighbors, too.
