Ponyville Villains Hospital

Telephone

Time once again for "Ponyville Villains Hospital". The continuing story of three former agents of bad who are doing their best to do good.

The three medical workers are ready at the Operating Room.
"Dr. Tirek." Chrysalis said. "Are you ready for your next paitent?"
"Next paitent?" Tirek gasped. "What happened to my last one?"
"He left for another doctor."
"Which doctor?"
"That's right."

"Oh. Here it is, Dr. Tirek" Cozy said as she points to the table.
Tirek lifts the sheet. It’s there when he realized that his next patient is something different. "It's a telephone! What's the matter with it?"
"It isn't working." Cozy Glow replied.
"If it isn't working, have it get a job so it can pay me."

Cozy Glow had a thought. "Maybe it's a pay phone."

"Dr. Tirek," Chrysalis interrupted, "do you know anything about repairing telephones?"
"No," Tirek replied, "but I can look it up in the book."
"The medical book?"
"No, the telephone book." Tirek pulls out a phone book.

Tirek looks through the phone book. Cozy got curious. "What do you think, Dr. Tirek?"
"I think it's jaundice." Tirek answered.
"How do you know?" Chrysalis asked.
"Well look at all of these yellow pages."

"Dr Tirek," Cozy Glow said, "do you think the telephone needs an anesthetic?"
"If so," Tirek replied, "make it a local."
"Why?"
"Because, long distance costs too much."

Chrysalis was laughing at that last comment. Tirek go her attention. "Nurse Chrysalis, do you have the next line?”
"Yes." Chrysalis said while trying to stop laughing. "But, I...I...I can’t say it."
"Why not?"
"The...th....the line's busy!"

After everyone recovered, Cozy Glow got concerned. "Dr. Tirek! Dr. Tirek! Are you ever going to operate?"
"No," Tirek replied, "but I think I know who can?"
"Who?"
Tirek picks up the phone. "The telephone operator."

So, once again, Dr. Tirek is off the hook.

"Are you talking to me?" Tirek said before hanging up.

Tune in again next week, when you'll hear Nurse Chrysalis say.....

"Does this telephone remind you of something?"
"Well," Tirek replied, "it does ring a bell."
