Ruth’s Chris On A Budget
Saturday, June 21st, 2008Ruth’s Chris On A Budget
Blood sugar 130.
Went to the doctor this morning at the ungodly hour of 6:30 am.
I thought I got lucky, first appointment, in and out.
Nope.
When 8:15 rolled around and still no doctor I was ready to bolt.
Screw my diabetes, there are other doctors and I wanted my money back.
The idiot came in and then immediately answered his cell phone and left again for 15 minutes.
Hey doc, guess what?
I pay you.
You are wasting my time.
All he did was tell me I have diabetes and referred me to a diabetes specialist.
Ummm.
Am I missing something?
Let’s say that your toilet breaks.
You call a plumber.
He tells you you have a broken toilet and fixes it for you, but then he says you need someone who deals just in porcelain.
So, you make the appointment, wait for the guy and after you pay him, he tells you that, “yes, your toilet is definitely broken, but you really need do see a toilet specialist.”
What was he?
A medical middleman?
Whatever, later on Shorty and I went to dinner.
After working all week, we needed to sit down and eat together with no phones and just us.
Cheesecake Factory had a two hour wait, so we went to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.
It wasn’t planned and we definitely weren’t trying to penny pinch, but the phentermine killed the appetite a bit so we weren’t that hungry.
(Shorty didn’t know I had a steak for lunch….. shhhhhh)
Anyway here is what we had.
2 salads, split a rib eye, broccoli, potatoes, coffee and a dessert.
The meal came to 90 bucks.
Three courses, great food, amazing company.
Ruth’s Chris on a budget.
You can do it too!

David Feingold has always been a controversial comic.
Being thrown out of Mrs. Blum’s Hebrew class in 3rd grade for reading a Yaakov Smirnoff comedy book during Bible class cemented that for him.
