WIN, LOSE, DRAW OR DIAGNOSE!

Most of us are familiar with the board game, Pictionary, right?  "Quick sketches, crazy guesses."

So, about three or four weeks ago, Vince and his co-residents had a little gathering, and after dinner, we played Pictionary.  We divided ourselves into four teams, and as expected, Vince and I were on the same team.  We had loads of fun, and too bad, we didn't take pictures of the sketches and drawings, but one thing I realized is how interesting (and competitive) this board game becomes when physicians play it.

Word #1:  SNORING

Dr. E picks a card, and as soon as the timer starts, he sketches what obviously is a person sleeping, including the giveaway "zzzzzzzzzzzzz."   It is a pretty easy word (both to draw and guess), so all of us we're expecting that Dr. W, his teammate, would get it.  With a little prompting, Dr. W indeed got the correct answer, but quickly quipped, "I was going to say OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA."

I giggled and snickered, then thought to myself, "Tama nga naman, me punto sya!" *Right, he has got a point there.*

By the way, obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by loud snoring, restless sleep, and daytime sleepiness.

Word #2:   TEASPOON

The third team was composed of Dr. A, her husband, and their young daughter.  Dr. A.'s husband did a good sketch of a teaspoon, but Dr. A blurted out, "IMPREGNATION."

On figuring out why "impregnation," it took me a long time to see that the teaspoon sketch did look like a sperm cell!

Way to go, Dr. A, for your clinical eye, and analytic thinking! ☻  And yes, Dr. A got the correct word eventually.

Word #3:   GUMSHOE

Though I didn't know what gumshoe is, I didn't find it to be a hard word, because all I needed to do was sketch a gum and a shoe, which Vince got correctly.  The funny part was when I was sketching a shoe, Dr. O said nonchalantly, "That looks like a p3n!s."  And the others piped in, "Hey, we got kids here!" LOL.

I looked up in the dictionary to see what gumshoe means, and it is a slang for a detective, investigator, or sleuth.

Still, I swear, my sketch was ugly but it didn't resemble a male's reproductive organ, or at least to me! ☻

Anyway, in case you were wondering who was crowned Pictionary champs of the night, it was Vince and I.  They got owned by the Valencia couple. LOL. Our winning word was "poodle."  Vince was able to decipher my stick drawing of a dog, but couldn't quite get that it was a poodle, until he overheard one of our opponents whispered, "Yeah, it does look like a poodle."  And that's how we won, hehe!
