So I'm in for my dr's visit and he says -- tell me about your friends.
me -- a lot of my friends are GMC friends -- great folks, friendly, smart, helpful -- really listen and care if you have a problem. Unlike so many you seem to meet today.
dr -- and you see these friendly, helpful people regularly.
me -- oh, I visit with some of them almost everyday. and if I don't have anything to say, I just read their messages.
dr -- so you don't actually see these people, they send you messages -- do you ever meet with them?
me -- sure, they gather in rallies. I went to one in Nashville for a couple of hours -- they were all under the trees in a nice little park.
dr -- so during this brief encounter, these friends of yours were gathered in trees in the park -- do they fly?
me -- some of them do and others used to fly
dr --- so the ones that don't fly -- how do they get around
me -- in their GMCs -- you know -- the hot rod with plumbing -- the rv road rocket. And when they travel, a lot of them stop and visit other GMCers
dr -- so, has one of these GMCers ever visited you?
me -- sure -- one came from Australia -- well really he is from Hoboken -- used to be in the space program and now has double trouble and the blue streak
dr -- gee, I see our time is about up -- let's take this back up on your next visit....

Incredibly funny. My wife and I both laughed loudly over this. You have a great sense of humor.
I too have had visits from spaceman Rob. If you had told the Dr. about Mickey's Spaceship you would probably have been immediately committed.

People ask me (once) about my hobbies. Depending on the situation, I
might mention the GMC first. They run from that topic (sometime around
when I'm describing the Toro drivetrain and the longitudinal bogies),
so I take them to tuba playing. They blanch on first mention of hertz
and harmonic overtones, so I take them to amateur radio, often with a
dissertation on taking the GMC up onto a mountaintop to participate in
a VHF radio contest. More of those hertz again! Argh! If they haven't
shot themselves by that time, I can still drag them into large-format
film photography, and the application of the Scheimpflug Principle to
tilt the focus plain using view cameras that have tilts and swings.
Run! Help! Run!
I just seem to be out of touch with the rest of humanity. I find
myself standing in the corner at parties, alone. At least at those few
parties I've been invited to.
Last week, members of my work team were in town for a meeting, and we
went out to dinner. The Redhead joined us--the only non-engineer out
of eight--and we all had a good time. The waitress screwed up the
division of the bill, and when trying to explain it to her, I showed
her the evidence on the HP-11C calculator app that I have on my
iPhone. I think the reverse polish notation really flipped the switch
for her. She scanned the crowd to see if any of us were not insane,
and I said, "there's no hope--we are all engineers."
The Redhead, after about 2.3 milliseconds of perception-reaction time,
exclaimed, "I'm not!" But it was no help--she couldn't figure out the
division of the bill either.
We did get the bill sorted out after about five minutes of laughing.
The waitress probably quit that night. Fortunately, the Redhead did
not.
Fact is, we are all just as nuts as can be.

Emery,
I was reticent to mention Mickey to the doc -- I can explain his spaceship and how he takes people to Disneyland. What I am troubled by is why Miguel's dog ate his sandwich.
Rick,
Yes, I have experienced the glazing over of the listener's eyss when I mention I own a GMC. If I go on to my love of flyfishing with bamboo rods or my collection of brass hose nozzles and grass shears I too find myself standing alone.
Dennis (who has a trombone in the closet but doesn't play)
PS all in good fun and thanks for listening...

Dennis,
I feel honored out of all the eccentric (err, eclectic) "gentlemen," I use the term loosely (and ladies) that participate in this
forum to have been mentioned in you dr's visit!
Just exactly what kind of dr is he/she?
Sounds like he/she might be a "head" dr which supports what I noted in the first sentence. ;-)
Regards,
Rob M.

Rick,
The instant I read this the Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe came to mind.
Bistromathic drive: The Bistromathic Drive is a starship propulsion system introduced in the novel Life, the Universe and
Everything, the third book of the series.
The Bistromathic Drive is used in Slartibartfast's craft Bistromath and works by exploiting the irrational mathematics that apply to
numbers on a waiter's bill pad and groups of people in restaurants. the novel Life, the Universe and Everything describes
bistromathics as follows:
Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behavior of numbers. Just as Albert Einstein's general
relativity theory observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in time, and that time was not an
absolute, but depended on the observer's movement in space, so it is now realized that numbers are not absolute, but depend on the
observer's movement in restaurants.
Further explanation of the theory behind bistromathics:
The first nonabsolute number is the number of people for whom the table is reserved. This will vary during the course of the first
three telephone calls to the restaurant, and then bear no apparent relation to the number of people who actually turn up, or the
number of people who subsequently join them after the show/match/party/gig, or to the number of people who leave when they see who
else has shown up.
The second nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of those most bizarre mathematical
concepts, a recipriversexcluson, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. In other words,
the given time of arrival is the one moment of time at which it is impossible that any member of the party will arrive.
Recipriversexclusons now play a vital part in many branches of mathematics, including statistics and accountancy, and also form the
basic equations used to engineer the Somebody Else's Problem field.
The third and most mysterious piece of nonabsoluteness of all lies in the relationship between the number of items on the bill, the
cost of each item, the number of people at the table and what they are each prepared to pay for. (The number of people who have
actually brought any money is only a sub-phenomenon in this field.) ”
The bridge instruments of the Starship Bistromath are ensconced in fake wine bottles.
The central computational area is a fake Italian restaurant table with seating for twelve encased in a glass cage. The table is
decked with a faded red and white check tablecloth with mathematically positioned cigarette burns. A group of robot customers sit
round the table, attended by robot waiters.
The mathematics play themselves out in the complex interplay between continuously circulating keys, menus, watches, cheque books,
credit cards, bill pads and scribblings on paper napkins.
Slartibartfast explains that "On a waiter's bill pad, numbers dance. Reality and unreality collide on such a fundamental level that
each becomes the other and anything is possible."
Should the ship's captain sit at the table, the mathematical functions speed up; the customers become more vociferous and wave at
each other. Eventually, the equation balances, and the customers become polite and civil once more. The more heated the argument,
the more complex the equation, and the farther the ship may travel.
Effectively, the ship takes advantage of the strange rules that only restaurants operate under by turning itself into a controlled,
artificial restaurant. This allows a ship equipped with a bistromathic drive to accomplish feats quite outside the normal
capabilities of spacecraft, such as travelling two thirds across the galactic disk in a matter of seconds. The drive is notably more
controllable than the Infinite Improbability Drive. It is also said to "make the Heart of Gold seem like an electric pram."
Regards,
Rob "who used the words eccentric and eclectic!" M.

The two options that come into my mind are, first, if you have a GMC
Motorhome, you must have a great need for a shrink. <Grin> Second, owning a
GMC Motorhome or two and working on them constantly, will deplete your
disposable money supply to the point where you can't afford a shrink. <grin>
