Say what?... part two

I'm telling you, sometimes this stuff truly does write itself. The following is just so preposterous, how could I possibly make this up?

While at my allergists this afternoon, I was waiting in the waiting room, reading a magazine and dying to scratch a powerful itch.

The relative silence of the day was interrupted by the young lady answering the telephone.

"Hold on a minute... I'll ask."

At this point she turned to her co-workers and the following six words tripped out of her mouth making her an instant shoo-in for, at the every least, honorable mention in the March 2009 Darwin Awards...

"Is coconut milk a dairy product?"

There was silence for a few seconds. Another patient, rolling his eyes, wondered aloud if this individual had ever attempted to milk a coconut.

Believe it or not, she then answered the individual who was holding the line. "No one seems too sure. I'll ask the Doctor and call you back."

Somewhere a village is mourning the loss of their very own idiot and I suspect there may be an advertisement posted in the local paper's "Help Wanted" section - (decidedly) unskilled labour.

I have a witness to this event, a young lady who was just as incredulous as me, and who happens to be a client. Regretfully, we were both in the wrong place at the wrong time.
