Eh, what's up Doc?

This is going to be short and sweet, but I just have to share a story. Today I went to the doctor here in Germany. His english was quite good, concidering it's not his first language. At one point though he wanted asked me, "Now please inspire." It took me a moment to realize he must want me to breath in. I did so and then he asked, "Now please expire." At that point I just about lost it. It took all my will power to not burst into fits of uncontrollable, child-like fits of laughter. It jut made my day. and caught me completely off guard...
[Explaination for those of you not as familiar with the uses of he word "expire". It is often used as a more polite (and slightly old-fashioned) way of saying someone died.]
