Before my grandmother passed away, she had to enter hospice. One night I think i had heard the word too many times and it lost all meaning. Since then, whenever someone says “hospice” I think of the golden fluid trickling from the loins of one Dan Blocker, AKA Eric “Hoss” Cartwright on Bonanza. This is the mental image I can’t unthink.
“It came from out my body, pa” – i can almost hear him say it.
“it came from out my body, Pa” is the best tagline for any product, real or imagined.
Great. Now every time I go to work and get report on a dying patient and I’m told they are on hospice, I’m gonna bust out laughing.
Ha!
