Who says work isn't funny?

Earlier today I had occasion to call the physician who is also one of my business partners, to make an arrangement about something which is neither here nor there. Here is a recap of that very important conversation:
brrrrring....
Dr. Smartypants: "Health Center, this is Dr. Smartypants."
Me: (whining) "Yeth......I would....I wanna order a pizza."
Dr. Smartypants: "Ok!"
Me: "uuuunnnhhhhhh, I want garlic sauce, and ARTICHOKES, and SAUSAGE.....uuuunnnnhhhh."
Dr. Smartypants: "Yes. That is perfect because I have also taken up the profession of rollerskating, and so I can deliver that pizza to wherever you are. AND I will charge you my usual doctor rate of 3000$ per hour.....Plus 15 more dollars if I'm naked. Well....maybe I will have to pay you 15$ if I am naked."
There was laughter, a brief discussion of administrivia we are obligated to discuss with one another.
Me: "Okay Dr. Smartypants. I hope you have a great day!!
Dr. Smartypants: "Ok. I leave you 15 dollars under the rug!"
