You are a pip.
I don't know that anyone who reads this post will EVER be able to say "TMI" to another sole without thinking of Hans' extremities of TMI.
I hope to heaven that your poetic framing of a pause, presumably eye contact and then "our several interactions that concluded just before sunrise." is just that and not a euphemism especially given the area of physical interaction specified.
Actually, that initial comment was entirely with the mock implication that at UL fan would refuse to render any professional service toward a UCONN fan, and the pause was just a bit of comic timing before saying, "I'm just messin' with ya," when I seemed a bit taken back.
At that time, he had no way of knowing what had brought me to the hospital, and I had no idea he was going to be doing anything more than wheeling me into an examine my room. Fwiw, it was my first ever visit to the ER.
At this juntcure, I see a lot of options:
I could micro-examine & comment on some of your word choices & stresses; launch into some phantasmagorical trolling tale about how happy we've been ever since ("the triplets were born on
Labor Day, lol") ; or go looking for a plausibly-related Taylor Swift song & video.
I think I'll just offer thanks for your unexpected & (in my own mind) entertaining reaction.
