Guest: “I try not to.”
This
means “Yes” in answer to questions like:
“Do you cheat on your diet, stick Q-tips in your ears, consume too much food, alcohol, tranquilizers, salt, or laxatives?.”
Guest: “I try.”
This
means “No” when I ask if someone has obeyed instructions that are almost
impossible to obey (take a pill every four hours, stick to an exercise program,
ignore a crying baby)...
Guest: “Everyone tells me what a great doctor you
are….”
My heart sinks when I hear this because it precedes a request that I’m not
likely to fulfill.
