elfinblazeOne of our elderly patients recently told us her son-in-law has a retirement place for her in mind. "He said he's got a place picked out for me in Coober Pedy."
My boss once took her family to Coober Pedy years ago, promising her daughters that they wouldn't camp out there, but that they would stay in a motel. When they arrived both daughters protested. "You said we'd stay in a motel! It's just a heap of dirt here!"
The motel was under ground.
Our patient was laughing as she relayed her son-in-law's words. "So when I die he can just stick a rock across the front door and that's it."
