Favorite Long Quote/Extract
I’d like to offer the Robin Leach Get Well or Die Happy plan. Here’s how it works. You don’t feel well, so instead of waiting for a hospital bed, you check into a great hotel in Los Angeles at a cost of $150 a day. (The hospital room will run you $500.) For this you get a suite with your own television set and a bathroom to yourself. The room comes with a continental breakfast and a newspaper. It also comes with a fluffy bathrobe that covers the ENTIRE body.
There is a valet parking for people who come to visit. There are deck chairs and a swimming pool, and when you don’t eat everything on your plate, no one cares. You can read until you fall asleep and no one wakes you out of a sound slumber to take your vital signs and give you a sleeping pill.
If you want to elevate your heart rate, you can walk to Rodeo Drive and read price tags. Or if you are bored, you can sit in the lobby and watch people argue over their hotel bill.
If you have a burning desire to see a doctor, there is a putting green nearby where you can meet and maybe have something cold to drink while you tell him what Reader’s Digest says about your condition.
The biggest plus is that there are no forms to fill out for the rest of your life. Not convinced? What if I told you that for the price of a ride in an ambulance, you could fly first class aboard British Air to London?
There now. I bet you feel better already.
