    This is a convenient opportunity to copy and paste a comment I made maybe thirty seconds ago:

    Once I was in the exam room at a doctor’s office, waiting to be seen. After a decently long wait, one of the nurses came over and apologized for the delay, explaining “the doctor is a little tied up at the moment.” She turned around to leave, paused, then turned back to me to elaborate “uh … Not literally.”
