You Look Like a Bat

Funny interaction had by "the man" and a "client" the other day:

Picked up said "client" passed out at the bank.  Said "client" was out of his mind on a plethora of substances.  He is a "regular" with the local PD...not really harmful...but a little on the, shall we say, sanity-challenged side.

They haul him into the hospital, as he cannot remember how much (or what) he has taken.

Some time later, the hospital calls the PD because the "client" (now "patient") has disappeared.  Having ripped his IV out, "the man" found him wandering nearby...and kindly guided him back the way he had come.

This time, the "patient" turned to "the man" and said:

"At first when I saw you, I thought you were a wolf...you looked all predatory-like.  But, now, I think you look like something else."



"What do I look like to you?" ("The Man" asks in puzzlement.)

"A bat.  SCREEEEE! SCREEEE! SCREEEE! SCREEEEE!!!!" (Screamed while waving his arms above his head and baring his teeth).



After securing the "patient" to the bed so he couldn't escape again (or pantomime any more animal movements), "the man" walked out to the nurses station.

Amidst their giggles, "the man" asked, "Is being a bat a good thing?  Was that a compliment?"

I love being the recipient of his hilarious interactions.  While I am sure there will be those that make me scared to send him back out the door again, these ones sort of make my day.
