Overheard on the Labor & Delivery Unit, 4/17/06 Overnight Tour

Patient's Boyfriend With Limited English Skills: Where comes from things my wife need to go to bathroom?
Nurse's Aide: (taking a "logic leap" and bring the man a pack of Kotex, this being a labor and delivery floor, and all) Here you go...they're called "pads".
PBWLES: (looking confused) No. (pointing to his feet) Socks!

Moral of the story: Sometimes "going to the bathroom" literally means "walking to the bathroom".
