Goin' South

Tales of Hoffman hits the road again. Tomorrow I leave for New Orleans as I take on lead "booth" duty for Medscape at the American College of Cardiology Conference. I'm really looking forward to this trip. The last time I was in NOLA I didn't get much of a chance to really enjoy the city, but this time around I planned ahead. Tomorrow night -- Emeril's; Saturday Night -- August (one of Zagat New Orleans' top picks). And I'm sure I'll be hitting some Jazz clubs as well. Should be a good time.

Of course, during the day, it's all about meeting docs and talking about how to make Medscape better. Are you going to be there? PLEASE stop by and say hi. It would be pretty cool to meet someone whose read the "Tales". See ya' there.

So that's why there's been no work this week - the cardiologists have been packing their bags and getting ready to head out for the conference.

Have a good time, Steve. Wish I could head down with ya'all.

So three cardioligists and 3 medical physicists are all going to New Orleans for a meeting and decide to take Amtrak.

They meet at the station, and the cardiologists each buy a ticket, but the physicists only buy one ticket.

The cardiologists ask, "How are you going to all ride on one ticket?" One physicist says, "Watch and you will learn something."

Just as the conductor is coming, the three physicists go into the washroom, followed by the cardiologists. The three physicists all cram into one toilet stall, and when the conductor knocks on the door of the stall and says "ticket please" the door opens, one arm comes out with a ticket which the conductor takes. The cardiologists are amazed.

On the way back, the cardiologists have spent a LOT on evening activities and decide to use the physicists approach. The three buy one ticket, but the three physicists don't buy any ticket.

The cardiologists ask, "How are you going to all ride with NO ticket?" One physicist says, "Watch and you will learn something."

They repeat the previous technique. The three physicists cram into one stall, the three cardiologists into another.

Then, just before the conductor enters the washroom, one physicist leaves their stall and knocks on the door of the cardiologists stall and says "Ticket please!"
