Sinister: Uncle Dad

[Curtis Heath]

Hello once again,

In regards to selling out: 
Remember back when Stuart, the bass player, left the band? ...to pursue his other artistic endeavours... 
WOW! Who knew his mates would go on to become the Beatles? 
If he would've stayed just a few months more, he would've become a millionaire and gone down in history as one of the fab five. 
But instead he just croaked, right at the beginning of it all!
What an amazing story of irony!
That could never happen again.
History doesn't repeat itself like that.

I'd love to tell you all great new stories of the kiddies on my bus, but they're all behaving themselves now... and my job's become quite boring. 
But I DO remember ONE thing from my previous job as a Telephone Triage Nurse for Columbia Hospitals:

A little boy called in one morning, weeping heavily and whispering something about his mother being pregnant... At first I thought he was sad at the prospect of having a new sibling steal all his attention. But why would he be calling a hospital? His mom was in the bathtub washing up, and he was in the living room crying and whispering so she wouldn't overhear. It turns out she wasn't pregnant at all. The pubescent boy had taken a bath just before her, and uh... discovered himself. He knew a bit about 'the facts of life' and put 2 and 2 together. Poor kid. I told him "Congratulations, you're going to be a father!" No, I told him not to worry... 

And you know what?! It's a true story. But I didn't really hear it on the phone. Actually, that boy was my father! And my brother. And my uncle. 

well. 
hope that was entertaining.
have fun!
Curtis
