A Whole New Field Of Medicine

Actual transcript of IM conversation between me and a female coworker, who has just discovered a rather egregious typo in a review from a typically horrible writer:

Female Coworker: He's invented a new profession: physiatrist.

Me: Sounds professional.

Me: Physiatry is hard.

Female Coworker: Not as hard as analrapy.


"What kind of punch was it?"

"It was a right hook ... with a bit of a jab."

"A jabbing right hook?"

"That's right, Casey."

"And he threw it with his left hand?"

"This fighter's got remarkable skills, Casey, he's not to be trifled with."
