Post-it Sunday 1/26/25- OR as Aesop Fable Project

The gown card reads “OR as an Aesop Fable series- 3 pigs, Goldilocks”.

This was from a series I have on the back burner, I take it out every so often, and look at it and think “Someday.”

I got my start writing OR parodies. I did several and self-published, if that is what it can be called, at a little store near my house.

I wrote a bunch of them.

I wrote about the number of things I pick up off the floor.

I wrote about the very bad, no-good day, a surgeon had in an OR.

I wrote about Tiny Hiney, a green frog bottle opener.

I wrote about OR sign language.

I wrote about the 12 days of the OR Christmas and what an ass Jack Ashe the charge nurse was.

I had several more in the pipeline. By that I mean I was writing them, thinking about them, talking them up with my coworkers.

And then the store closed. RIP.

And then I went back to school and my brain was suddenly full of new concepts.

But I never forgot how I got my start.

The gown card lists two of the stories I was working on.

The 3 pigs were the charge nurses standing up to a blowhard surgeon.

Goldilocks was about a coworker that was trying all the different specialties like a wrecking ball. Spoiler alert, they never found the right fit.

I also wrote a Hickory Dickory Doc parable/funny.

I will get back to them, I promise. I may change them, but I will get back to them.

I just have the Big Write in front of me.

And I also have to be in the right frame of mind for comedy.

Don’t hold your breath because I won’t be holding mine.
