earguards
not all patients at the Gimcrack* have mental health issues (though some would dispute this fact). women outnumber the men by a 4 to 1 ratio so if a vaguely presentable male finds his way to our joint he instantly attains ‘object of lust’ status.
we have recently admitted one new such object and feathers are flying all over the coop as elderly women jostle for his attention. as inmates go he’s quite the catch being tall (tick), a retired oncologist (tick), apparently of sound mind (tick) and in possession of working wedding tackle (double tick). This last piece of information came from the cleaner who walked in as Dr. Do-able** was testing the waters with a member of his ageing fan club.
So on the negative side he is hearing impaired (perhaps that’s not a negative as any conversation he’s likely to have with said fan club member would probably revolve around the only topics I’ve ever known her to be interested in - her haemorroids and her lactose intolerance) and sports the largest pair of earguards I’ve seen outside of Jewish payot style forelocks.
The good doctor’s sideburns 
are only a tad smaller than these. Well he’s not likely to snare nursemyra with this fashion but then again I didn’t experience my sexual awakening in the civil war era.
guess it’s good to know that if circumstances find you spending your twilight years at the gimcrack or any of her sister institutions the possibilities of sexual congress still exist. just remember the ‘do not disturb’ sign if your cleaner’s name is Guiseppe***
*name changed so I have ongoing employment
**name changed so I don’t get sued
***name not changed as Guiseppe is turned on by notoriety as well as scrubbing bathrooms

Well, that’s something you don’t hear every day. Well, maybe you hear it every day, but I don’t.
yeah. I thought I’d made it up but google tells me otherwise
Hi,
I thought of catching up by visiting your blog again. As the first time. your blog is great to visit. Filled with humor and being different from other blogs. Like you said, “something that you don’t hear everyday.” How true. Keep writing.
Cheers
