Today's Joke
Two doctors, a psychiatrist and a proctologist, opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones: Hysterias and Posteriors." The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to read, "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to…

Results from Burning
Just got back from the doctor and she said the burning feeling under my arm is perfectly normal. The little bit of swelling is from post-op. She said the burning will probably be going on for quite awhile. She said there is a medicine that would help the nerves, but will wait for later for that. She said I'm healing…

Baby's First Doctor Visit I hope it will give you a smile! A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam. The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.…

Another joke
Ice Cream Anyone? There was a robin who decided to get up especially early to get some worms. It had rained the night before and there were worms aplenty for many birds, but this robin thought he would eat them all before his siblings woke-up. After consuming all the worms he could stuff into his already overstuffed…
