Hey, Doctor.. How about a Few Jokes to help cure what ails me?

I'm told that a laugh lowers stress hormone levels and blood pressure instantly.  Artery diameter increases 22% during laughter, even when it is faked. Read funny books;  watch funny TV shows and movies; listen and watch comedians; tell jokes... You'll live longer.. and remember, laughter is contagious, so "grin and share it!"




Most of my joke submissions today will be related to the Medical Field, with a kind of naughty and irreverent joke near the end.

Medical School

The professor said to the class of medical students, "Today we are going to discuss the lungs and the heart."
"No!" a student moaned. "Not another organ recital!"

Prognosis

A wife accompanied her husband to the doctor's office.  After the husband's examination, the doctor came out shaking his head and looking worried.
"I don't like the looks of your husband," said the doctor.
The wife replied:  "I don't either, but he's good with the children."

Advice to New Doctors

An experienced doctor addressed a medical school graduation class:

"When you're not working, it's important that you relax.  You can't do that if friends are always coming up and asking you for medical opinions.  When that happens, there is one simple word which will put a stop to it."

"Simply look the person in the eye and say, 'Undress!'"


Stress

Sid Simon sez: "My doctor has a great stress test.  It's called the 'bill.'"

Hospital Costs

Sid Simon sez: "I don't blame hospitals for trying to keep costs down, but I really think a coin-operated bed pan is going a little too far."

Mental Floss

Sid Simon sez: "My wife told the doctor that she was afraid my mind was wandering.  The doctor, who knows me, said: 'Don't worry, it can't go far."

Dental Floss

Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal?  He wanted to transcend dental medication.

Caffeine Addiction

Patient:  "Doctor, whenever I drink coffee, I get a pain in my eye."
Doctor:  "Well, take the damn spoon out of the cup, dummy!"

Medical Insurance

Doctor:  "Just how long have you been wearing pink panties?"
Patient:  "Since my wife found them in the glove compartment."

Rabbit Test

Moe:  "What do you call an anaesthesized rabbit?"
Joe:    "An ether bunny."

Husband's Medical Condition

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office.  After his checkup, the doctor called the wife into his office alone and said:  "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress.  If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die."

1. Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast.
2. Be pleasant and make sure he is in a good mood.
3. For lunch, make him a nutritious meal he can take to work.
4. For dinner, prepare an especially nice meal for him.
5. Don't burden him with chores, as this could further his stress.
6. Try to relax your husband in the evening by wearing lingerie and giving him plenty of backrubs.
7. Encourage him to watch some type of team sporting event on television.
8. Most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim.

If you can do this for the next ten months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely."

On the way home, the husband asked his wife: "What did the doctor say?"

"You're going to die,"  she replied.

Surgery

Sid Sez: "The definition of minor surgery is: An operation performed on somebody else."

Listen up!

Joe:  "Hey, I got a great new hearing aid!"
Moe: "What kind is it?"
Joe:  "Three o'clock."

OK, here is the slightly naughty submission for today.

Mom's Affair

A woman takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work.  One day, her 9-year old son hides in the closet during one of her romps.  Her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she hides her lover in the closet.

The little boy says, "It's dark in here."
The man whispers, "Yes it is."
Boy, "I have a baseball."
Man, "That's nice."
Boy, "Want to buy it?"
Man, "No thanks."
Boy, "My dad's outside."
Man, "OK, how much?"
Boy, "$250."

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom's lover end up in the closet together.

Boy, "It's dark in here."
Man, "Yes, it is."
Boy, "I have a baseball glove."
Man, Remembering last time, asks, "How much?"
Boy, "$750."
Man, "Fine."

A few days later, the father says  to the boy, "Grab your ball and glove.  Let's go outside and toss the baseball."

The boy says, "I can't.  I sold them."

The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"

The boy says, "$1,000"

The father says, "It's terrible to overcharge your friends like that.  That's more than those things cost.  I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."

They go into the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.

The boy says, "It's dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that crap again!"

Hope I didn't offend anyone with that one.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said:

"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.  This is to have succeeded."

Spring is here?

It doesn't seem like it, here in Maryland in 2011, but the calendar says it's Spring. Our daffodils are up above the ground and we are waiting to see if their blossoms are pink, as we were told they would be.

Today, I give a talk on humor at the first Carroll County Chapter Meeting for the Maryland Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. I think it might be fun. Meanwhile, a month has passed since I posted jokes to this blog, so here goes:

01. Signs of Old Age from Jacqui Wilson in the HCFA/CSM Journal:

You forget names, but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you.

You've never heard of most of the persons in People Magazine.

When people say you look "Great," they add: "for your age."

The five pounds you wanted to lose is now fifteen, and you have a better chance of losing your keys than losing those fifteen pounds.

Everybody whispers.

02. In-laws.

Q: What is the fifference between outlaws and in-laws?

A: Outlaws are wanted.

03. Middle-age.

Molly McGee (Fibber's wife) said that the "dangerous age" for men is when their pants get long, and their breath gets short.

04. Effects of Surgery. (From Alan Kaufman)

A man was just waking up from anaesthesia after surgery and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're beautiful!" Then he fell asleep again.

His wife had never heard him say that, so she stayed by his side. A few minutes later, his eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're cute!"

The wife was disappointed because instead of "beautiful," it was now "cute."

She said, "What happened to beautiful?"

The man replied, "The drugs are wearing off."

05. Ballet.

Archie Bunker: "I wonder about all those sissified ballet dancers, dancing on their toes. Why don't they just get taller dancers?"

06. Disease:

Henny Youngman: "My doctor told me I had shingles, and he threw me off the roof."

07. Bumper Sticker:

If you can read this, I've lost my trailer!

08. Puzzled grave seeker.

Man in Graveyard: "I'm looking for the grave of the man who invented the crossword puzzle. You know, people visit it all the time and leave little gifts. Can you tell me where it is?

Graveyard Attendant: "Yes, it's easy to find. Go 2 down and 3 across.

09. Marriage.

Little Boy: "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?"

Father: "I don't know, son. I'm still paying."

10. Men and Women.

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are attractive to the opposite sex.

11. Gravestone.

A nagging wife had this gravestone placed over her deceased husband's grave:

RIP -- Until We Meet Again

12. The New CEO

(This classic showed up in my email.. maybe from Bonnie Ciborowski.)

A large company, feeling it was time for a shake-up, hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.

On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business.

The new CEO walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked: "How much money do you make a week?"

A little surprised, the young fellow looked at him and replied, "I make $300 a week. Why?"

The CEO then handed the guy $1,200 in cash and screamed, "Here's four week's pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!"

Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?"

From across the room came a voice, "Delivery guy from Pizza Hut."
