That’s The Spirit?
BIZARRE, RELIGION, USA, VET | HEALTHY | MARCH 2, 2020
(I work for a vet. The phone rings.)
Me: “[Clinic], this is [My Name]. How can I help you?”
Client: “Hi. I got a card in the mail that my cat is due for a checkup, so I’d like to schedule that.”
Me: “Certainly. May I have your last name?”
Client: “It’s [Last Name].”
Me: “Okay, and is this for [Cat]?”
Client: “Yes.”
Me: “Okay, according to our records, it looks like [Cat] is overdue for her upper respiratory and distemper vaccine. Would you like to have that boosted?”
Client: “Oh, I don’t know. I’ll have to talk to my husband about that. Can I let you know when I come in for the appointment?”
Me: “Of course.”
Client: “We’ll have to pray about it and dowse to decide.”
(As far as I know, dowsing refers to holding sticks to try and find groundwater. I have no idea how the client intends to use it to decide whether to vaccinate her cat.)
