Funny stories from work

While driving around today, I thought of five of them but only remember this one. Post yours.

Back in the 1970s, I briefly worked for a CT scanner company. CT scanners were new back then and only scanned your head. I would help install them in hospitals and doctors offices (who thought they would make a killing on billing).

The CT scanners back then had a water bag that surrounded your head. You had to make sure there were no air bubbles in the bag to get a proper head scan. I had finished the work I was doing but had to check for air bubbles. One of the nurses at the hospital walked in and asked if they could use the scanner cause they had a patient for it. I said, "Sure but I'll need maybe 10 minutes." She seemed happy and scurried away.

About 10 minutes later, I just finished and heard some footsteps behind me. I turned to see about five nurses and two doctors dressed in full gowns, masks and gloves from head-to-toe looking at me with very wide eyes! "You have to get out of here!" one said. "This patient is highly contagious!"
