Louisiana Man
I'm sure you're thinking, "He's settin traps in the swamp, catchin anything he can. He's gotta make a living, he's a Lousiana man." But alas...that was not the case with this guy. I thought perhaps after this conversation that it was something similar to LA's dumb law "biting someone with your natural teeth is "simple assault," while biting someone with your false teeth is "aggravated assault." I think this guy wrote that law.
So he comes into the clinic with a dog. He starts talkin bout rabbits. In a Cajun dialect. It took me a while to make out the word rabbit. What he was saying, in essence, was that he could tell if a rabbit was pregnant, exactly how many little bunnies it would have, the day it would have them, and the sex of the bunnies, all by just feeling the rabbit. That's all fine and dandy for him, but who in their right mind really needs to know this information anyway?? It wasn't until the conversation progressed to him asking me if I sucked the heads of crawfish when I "et 'em."
The veterinary-client-patient-relationship ended abruptly after his story about how he evaded the 1 year rabies rule in Lousiana by finding a "loop-hole even the DA couldn't get him for" and after he proceeded to try to convince me that in LA veterinarians can write one perscription a year for humans...but just one. And he thought it was that way in Arkansas too. It just happened that he was in need of a couple things.
My staff found it wildly hilarious that I was listening to this guy spout all this stuff. They didn't even help me by giving me a good excuse to end the visit. I mean come on...during any other minute of the day I'd have 3 phone calls waiting on me.......
