Clark: "So, I just sign right here?"

Nurse: "Oh, yes... You just sign your name right there,  and then underneath that, just go ahead and write down a good phone number and address so I can know how to better stalk you later.  Thanks so much :-)"

Dick Clark wouldn't be smiling if he knew that he just signed away consent for Nurse Ruby to collect a kidney, part of his liver, and possibly a gallbladder.

Ruby: Look Dick it's just like I told you in my letters! I knew I'd be Mrs. Ruby Clark one day!

Dick: Wait a minute! This is a MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE?!

That's right, Mr. Clark, all patients are allowed to wade into our Fountain of Youth.  Why else would they all look so young here at Riley? Now, Mr. Clark, I've got your guarantee to be on this week's American Bandstand, right?  Good.  Now, just sign on the line and we'll get you into your gown....
