I will Be away from Noon today until tomorrow

Sorry folks, I will be going into the hospital about noon today (Wednesday, September 3, 2008) for overnight observation and tests. I will return sometime tomorrow (Thursday, September 4, 2008) provided everything checks out okay. I hope everyone has a good day and I am leaving you with a little tidbit I wrote a good while back. Hope you get a kick out of it.
Respectfully,
Rett

Pre-read note: The street names are genuine streets in Lake Jackson, Texas.
Just a couple of miles from where I live. The locations of the streets aren't accurate as I changed them to fit the story. Kind of a take-off on "The Ball Game" by Abbot and Costello.

Phone Call From a Visitor

(Ring.......Ring.......)" Hello."
"Hi Rett, this is Jim."
"Oh, hello Jim. Good to hear from you."
"Same here, I just got into town and thought I'd drop by for a visit if you're not busy."
"That sounds great Jim, come on over."
'Okay. Hey, I'm at the Shamrock Service Station at Oyster Creek Drive and 288 B.
How do I get to your place from here?"

"It's real easy Jim. Head West on Oyster Creek Drive untill you get to This Way."
"What way?"
"No no, we don't have a What Way."
"Huh? Which way?"
"Sorry Jim, Which Way isn't a street."
"Look Rett, I'm confused. If I'm gonna come that way I need good directions."
"Jim, That Way is a couple of blocks before This Way."
" Now wait a minute...is there any way to get to your house?"
" Not by Any Way, it's two blocks past This Way!"
"Rett, you're gonna have to be clearer! Don't Circle around this way!"
"Jim, you're confusing me! You can't take Circle Way to This Way...Circle Way
goes downtown and This Way goes to my subdivision."
"Huh? You've lost me again Rett. This is the most winding way of giving
directions I've ever heard!"
"No Jim, now you've gotten lost...Winding Way is on the South side of Oyster
Creek Drive and This Way is North."
"Dangit Rett! How can it be on the South side and run North?"
"Jim, You're not listening to me. Here, talk to Vanessa, maybe she can
make you understand!"
"Hi Jim, this is Vanessa. What seems to be the problem?"
"Well Vanessa, Rett was trying to tell me how to get to your house
but, his way doesn't seem to make much sense!"
"Jim, I'll say! His Way is just a short street leading to a church! You can't
get here from there!"
" Groan!, Look Vanessa, can you tell me how we can get on center again?"
"Jim, it'll do no good to take Center Way, it doesn't even come near This Way!"
"Oh, to hell with it! This way, that way, circle way, winding way, his way, WHO
GIVES A DAMN? I AIN'T COMING ANYWAY!" (Hangs up!)
"Wonder what his problem is?"
