malapropisms, noun: humorous misusing of a word or words
'M al' usually means bad. But in this case, it was
A tongueling of the tang. Right. What they all say.
L oose lips sink ships, so I've heard. A N Y W A Y,
A medic in the USAF, OB-GYN floor. My assignment:
P rocure the vital signs of Mrs. ________, who is
R eclining in bed under the gravid weight of twins.
O h, don't forget their vitals, either. Gather all of the
P araphernalia, walk into her room, what comes out?
'I need to check your hetal fart tones.' She laughed
S o hard, thought she'd have the babies right then.
M y face turned crimson when I realized what I'd said.
S upposed to have said, fetal heart tones. Whoops.

| This duel is getting pretty serious / Why don't you just face off with dueling pistols under a mighty oak with silvery Spanish moss trailing the soft southern wind and draw blood / This was, again, well done / I am proud of ya. |
