Love Marks?

Today I was assisting another nurse in settling her patient. I was unbuttoning the top of his johnny when I see his chest is rather scratched up, of course my mind immediately goes to the dark side as he looked like he and his Harley had rode many miles together. The patient catches my eye then decides to speak up.

Patient: "Those scratches aren't love marks. I had to give my cat a bath and he didn't like it too much."

Me: "I take it he won? Why a bath anyway?"

Patient: "He got fleas! He is a tiger kitty and he licked off all his stripes because of the fleas!! We had to bathe him, and my wife is really upset over the whole thing."

Poor thing!! That will teach me for making assumptions about one's private life.
