Namesake

My good friend was surfing online today looking at baby names. She's due in less than a month and they threw out the name they'd decided and were trying to come up with something else. I'm just letting her ramble while trying to get some of my work done. A sentence she said hits a button and my brain automatically hits replay.

"Irish and Klingon are very similar, at least the way I try to pronounce them."

I just thought you'd enjoy that too.

bucket o' blood

at the doctor's office this morning... new place for me, never been there before. So, I'm waiting in the little exam room and I hear this through the door:

(casual male voice): If the bucket of blood gets full, just dump it out.

My first thought: Er... how big of a bucket?
My second thought: Do these windows open at all?

No context. No followup. No further comments. Just a bucket of blood.
