Clarks: How Do You Spell It?

FILE UNDER "FUNNY/SCARY":
Naturally, Cec wants to take the best possible care of herself and our baby. We've chosen, for instance, to pay more for the privilege of going to a very nice and comfortable foreign clinic within a well-respected local hospital. In between visits she faithfully reads all the books, takes walks and does some exercise, eats her fruits and vegetables...
As an added precaution, she decided she'd call the aforementioned, high-priced, well-respected foreign clinic and ask about getting her flu shots -- specifically, for the "swine flu" -- more properly known as the H1N1 virus. So, she asked, "Can I get the H1N1 vaccination?"
"What kind?" they asked.
"H1N1."
And, believe it or not, they actually said, "I'm sorry... How do you spell it?"
I know it sounds like one of those impossibly corny jokes out of Reader's Digest, but we promise it really happened.
We just hope that they know how to spell "C-section" if the need should arise!
