Well let's just say what happened to me today put a smile on my face. I work as a health professional in a rehabilitation clinic out in the West end where we offer Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Sports Therapy and Massage Therapy services. Occasionally we put out street signs indicating what services we provide and a contact number to reach us...Occasionally, Mr. Sign Man messes up, as for example today, where our new sign currently reads:
XXXXXXXXXX Rehabilitation Clinic
MASSAGE
Physiotherapy/Athletic Therapy
Chiropractic Services
Available Inquire at 905.XXX.XXXX
At 8am this morning, I am working on some paperwork when I hear my receptionist answer the phone and an interesting and amusing conservation develops...I begin to hear phrases from her such as "Excuse me?", "Is she pretty?", "What nationality is she?" "You want to do what?", "What do you mean what does she do for extra?" and finally ending with..."Sir, I don't think we offer the kind of massage you're looking for...Jerk!" CLICK!
Meanwhile, my sheepish grin has totally blown into a full smile and it takes quite a bit not to totally lose it. She goes on to tell me how the "guy" kept asking weird questions about NR or BS and other terms to which I pretended not to know anything about. Anyways in the end, our entire staff got quite the chuckle and poor 8am "early morning man" perhaps had to go phone somewhere else.
Anyways moral of the story: Guys, if "Massage" is offered in advertisements in conjuction with other services such as Physio/Chiro/Rehabilitation, etc....it's NOT LIKELY that it is a rub-n-tug establishment!!! Just a little food for thought next time you see such an ad on the streets and roads of the GTA.
P.S. Sign should be corrected tomorrow so please guys no PM's inquiring about details, extras, etc....besides, our main RMT is a guy!
P.S.S. Reminds me of the time when our sign was wrong again and we got quite a few calls inquiring about "erotic massages". One guy actually came in, paid his fee and got his 1 hr "therapeutic massage" from our female RMT. After the session she came and told me that the guy got somewhat annoyed and said "That's it!, That's all you're going to do?" and hinted to certain body parts. She left shortly after that and after around 15' alone in the room following the massage, the guy quickly and quietly made an exit. Needless to say, those sheets in the room were immediately bleached and washed. Dunno YMMV I guess. I don't think the guy was too swift or he just failed notice the chiropractor, 2 physios, a half dozen patients and a load of exercise and rehabilitation equipment that dominated the clinic!
Don't let this happen to you!!
