The resident is asking Abie about his transfer. R: Was it the doctors? A: The doctor's there - I can't complain. R: Was it the food? A: The food there - neah, I can't complain. R: How about the nurses? the staff? A: The people there, all of them - I can't complain This went on for several other topics, with Abie always answering "I can't complain." Finally: R: So, just why exactly did you transfer to this hospital? A: Because here, HERE - I CAN COMPLAIN! -- Craig Werner !philabs!aecom!werner "The world is just a straight man for you sometimes"
