Listen to this one guys!  A client came to pick up an electric pump
yesterday.  I asked her casually why she wanted to pump.  She replied
that she had to get rid of her milk.  She had been away for the day on a
trip.  The nurse at her well baby clinic advised her to pump and dump
for a few days so the baby wouldn't get sick from drinking spoiled milk.
I was tempted to tell the mom that she should put her breasts in the
fridge...  but she'd probably believe me.  ***************************

To top off a "wonderful" day, I had the (prenatal) class from hell.
A bunch of professionals who are most concerned with hiring nannies.
Their questions included:  "What kind of pacifier do you recommend?"
"What is the minimum amount of time I have to nurse?"  "Why should I
pay a nanny if she won't be able to do anything?"  To all those
motivated parents-to-be, I suggest buying an "tamaguchi".  My kids wear
those cute little electronic animals around their necks.  Yuppies can
play with their electronic babies and just shut them off when they have
better things to do.  No mess, no bother...
