If ignorance is bliss, then I'm sure they're both very happy

Overheard between Buffalo, and Insolent Manager:


"...I've never met a nurse that's in love with her job."

"I dated one."

"They're not treated well. Doctors shit on them, families shit on them, they're basically servants. Well-educated servants. They have an education and have to wipe up shit all day."

"Well, nah, they can get a masters degree, and then they can give out medications. Prescriptions."

"Oh. Really?"

"Yeah, because they take the place of a doctor."



How does this happen?

Usually in a conversation, you have someone that knows about the topic at hand...and someone that doesn't. They converse, there's a flow of information...one person learns stuff...the other person might make the first person think about the topic in a new way by asking questions. But these two...how do they constantly get on topics neither of them knows anything about?

They shouldn't be allowed to talk to one another. Or breed*.

*again, definitely not with one another.
