Where are all the Plant Hospitals?
Published April 28, 2004
If plants are living and breathing things that can die, why isn't there a plant hospital? We have human hospitals and even animal hospitals, but no plant hospital. That's not right. One day your plant doesn't look too good so you bring it in to the plant hospital and the doctor comes out to talk to you.... "Well, we took some x-rays... and we have some good news and some bad news. It looks like your plant....... has a weed. However, we think we caught it in time. It's in surgery now to remove it."
And then after surgery it has to stay in the plant hospital recovery room for a week, and the plant doctor tells it to get plenty of water and sun. And other plants come to visit... and they bring a plant. And then there has to be a plant hospital emergency room. When a plant comes in that's almost dead, instead of shock paddles they just have a bottle of water. "CLEAR!! ::pouring water:: CLEAR!! ::pouring water::"
And if the plant can't be saved, and it has to be hooked up to machines to keep it alive, the doctor has to prepare the plant's family before they go in to see it. "I know it still looks alive and normal, but machines are doing all of the photosynthesis for it."
Welcome to the end of the blog. Later...
I think I want to be a comedian.

Ignore him, but don't forget tree surgeons. Funny - Thanks and welcome!
I'd make sure my plants all had DNRs in case, by some tragic circumstance, they ended up in a vegetative state.
See? Now *that's* funny, Joe!
I you really want to be a comedian, New Yorker's recent issue had a lenghty profile of young standup comics in NYC that was worth reading.
I think it's funny. I also like the "wrong side of the bed" on your blog :0)
doc, ok cool. Thanks for the advice.
eric, thanks. Nice to be here.
joe, good point. This would be the only situation where a vegetative state is the best case scenario. The plant's family would pray for it.
Sheri, why thank you.

this was not your best work, but you are a geniuous i love your other stuff
