(no subject)
Jason (a cool guy), Jami (a pretty girl) and I were having a brief conversation on the floor, while we were supposed to be taking our calls. (Don't worry, the customers were on hold.)
Jami was telling us about how she gets bad pains, all through her chest, and the doctors don't know what causes it. She's been prescribed medication for it (despite the fact that her doctors DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES IT), but she hates to take it because it leaves her violently nauseous.
After a few brief exchanges from Jason and I, encouraging her to test her left hand for numbness to stave off that whole 'heart attack' thing, there's a moment of silence as Jami turns back to her customer on the line.
It's just a moment. Only two or three seconds, as I'm thinking myself, before I just shrug and suggest "Maybe it's angina?"
After I said that, Jason looked at me, glanced away, before he snapped his head back and blinked a few times in shock. It was a literal double-take. His eyes went WIDE, and he said "Whhhat?"
(Exactly like that. You know the way it sounds, you've heard it, you just probably can't place it right now.)
"Angina?" I repeat, giving Jason a shrug and a raised eyebrow, not getting why he's reacting like I just screamed a cuss word out loud for all the phones to pick up. "You know, blockages in the arteries, mostly old people get it?"
Jason looked relieved for a second, shaking his head and starting to laugh, before he looked back to me...
"I thought you said 'Maybe it's her vagina.'"
"Ohhhhhh... Oh." Pause. "Yeah, vagina. It could be a blockage."
Jami, busy with the call, had to wait about five minutes until she found out why we were laughing so long.
The title for this entry comes from this right here.
