    Fox, keep the jokes coming!
    Fox, keep the jokes coming! I am very glad to hear that you are "king" of coping! You have always been a good example for me, the caregiver, who is very prone to panic on the whole topic. Your post above is very comforting to me.

    Guitars? This is the first I am hearing of it! Do you play and sing? My friend just went on a tour at the "Martin" factory in Pa. this week. 10k for guitars that all look the same to me (hope my husband did hear that!) but i guess they are worth it.

    Gary, that was too funny! Dare I mention "leg".. any jokes for that body part? Uh-oh!

    Alice, just saw your question. Yes, I took the picture down. I have to find one i am comfortable with, there are not many.

    You asked for it...
    What has a bottom at its top?

    A leg.

    Did you hear about the witch who went in for the lovely legs competition?
    She was beaten by the microphone stand.

    What has fifty legs but can't walk?
    Half a centipede.

    Eye love a good challenge..
    A Czech goes to the optician who shows him a card with the letters

    C Z W X N Q S T A C Z

    "Can you read this?" the optician asks.

    "Read it?" the Czech replies, "He's my brother in-law."

    Optician: You need glasses.

    Patient: But I'm wearing glasses.

    Optician: Then I need glasses.

    Patient: I always see spots before my eyes.

    Optician: Didn't the new glasses help?

    Patient: Sure, now I see the spots much clearer

    blonde
    A blonde walks into the opticians office for her eye exam. The doctor tells her to cover her left eye with her hand and then read the chart. She struggles to cover her eye completely but starts to cry when she is unable to cover it up well. The doctor shakes his head and says ,"Never mind, Just cover up your right eye and read the chart." Again she struggles. Moving her hand and fingers up and down and back and forth without success. So the Doctor has an idea. He cuts a hole in a paper bag and slides it over her head so that only one eye is exposed. He tells her to once again to "Read the chart." She looks up and starts crying again. The Doctor asks," What's wrong this time?" She says, "I was hoping for wire frames."

    My turn
    A guy was in a bar drinking whiskey all night long until he was totally wasted and then he proceeded to go home. The next night he was in the same bar drinking nothing but water and soft drinks . The bartender started to tease him telling him that he was not so tough tonight and embarassed the guy said you don't understand, I got super messed up last night and went home and blew chunks. The bartender said don't worry about it buddy , we all over do it sometimes and drink till we throw up. The drunk said no that's not it, my dogs name is chunks!!

    Lippedy doo daa...
    An old cowhand came riding into town on a hot, dry, dusty day. The local sheriff watched from his chair in front of the saloon as the cowboy wearily dismounted and tied his horse to the rail. The cowboy then moved slowly to the back of his horse, lifted its tail, and placed a big kiss where the sun don't shine. He dropped the horse's tail, stepped up on the walk and aimed toward the swinging doors of the saloon.

    "Hold on there, Mister," said the sheriff. "Did I just see what I think I saw?"

    "Reckon you did, Sheriff. I got me some powerful chapped lips."

    "And that cures them?" the Sheriff asked.

    "Nope, but it keeps me from lickin' 'em."

    Clinton & Falwell
    Jerry Falwell was seated next to President Clinton on a recent flight. After the plane was airborne, the flight attendant came around for drink orders. The President asked for a whisky & soda, which was brought and placed before him. The attendant then asked the minister if he would also like a drink. The minister replied in disgust, "Ma'am, I'd rather be savagely raped by a brazen **** than let liquor touch these lips! "The President then handed his drink back to the attendant and said,"I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a choice..."

    Okay one more...
    An elderly lady was rocking on her front porch, reflecting on her long life, when a Fairy Godmother suddenly appeared before her and offered to grant her three wishes.
    "Well," said the woman, "I really would like to be rich."
    *POOF* Her rocking chair turned to solid gold.
    "I sure wouldn't mind being a young, beautiful princess," she said.
    *POOF* She was immediately turned into a beautiful young princess with a stunning crown of jewels.
    "Your third wish?" asked the Fairy Godmother, just as the old woman's cat wandered across the porch in front of them. "Ohh," the woman exclaimed, "Could you possibly turn my cat into a handsome young prince?"
    *POOF* Standing before her was a young man far more handsome than anyone could ever imagine.
    She stared at him in awe, totally smitten. As he moved towards her, she could feel her knees weaken. He bent down, lightly brushed his lips across her ear and whispered, "I'll bet you're sorry you had me neutered now!"

    Ironic

    It all makes sense now. Gay marriage & marijuana being legalized on the same day.

    We were just interpreting it wrong.

    It's not new Alice - you may have noticed a number of messages in which I've previously referred to it by its chemical name (e.g. one to your Husband a month ago).

    I'm amused by the wild-arse guesses put out by Decision Resources as if they're gospel. I wonder who the naive clients are who actually pay money for such prognostications.

    "Findings" by Decision Resources et al.
    Tex, I agree. A "finding" should involve more than prognostication. These groups "think" or "predict" or "claim" or "say." They do not "find."

    Making a claim about 2021 as if it's fact is beyond silly. (Of course the blame could lie with the reporter rather than with the firm making the prediction.)

    Besides, the apocalypse is all set for December 21. That's as likely as BMS-936558 not being FDA-approved until 2017.

    Welcome
    Robin,

    Great to have the benefit of your extensive knowledge on CSN (as well as ACOR). Keeping my fingers crossed we can keep you well beyond December 21.

    Wow
    December 14? So you'll be at Hopkins through the holidays? That kind of sucks but it lines you up for a terrific Christmas present if you can rid yourself of that pain and come back stronger in fighting the beast.

    Don't know what your arrangements will be with your business and family in WV, but John and I are close by and willing to help out should you need anything. Just PM me and let me know about that; I can supply phone # too. Stay in touch.

    hey Tacyarts

    Tacyarts - Here's hoping your surgery allowed you to enjoy Christmas. How's recovery coming? Any word on trial status? John and I both have been wondering. To you and yours, happy holidays.

    seriously...

    I noticed that y'all are missing gyno jokes. Some are realy old. And tasteless.

    Cheers and Happy'n'Healthy New Year from the Ovarian board!

     

     

    One woman says to another, "I can't understand why you haven't gone to see that new gynecologist yet! I mean he's so young and handsome! And your gynecologist is so old!"
    The other woman replies with a smile, "Yeah, I know. His hands shake all the time!"

    If tennis players get tennis elbow, and squash players get squash knees, what do gynecologists get?
    Tunnel vision!


    One day, a painter found himself short of help and went to the unemployment office to hire someone for the day.
    When he arrived, they didn't have any painters available, but they did have a gynecologist there. He reluctantly took him along to help.
    A couple of weeks later, the painter returned to the unemployment office needing temporary help again. This time there were two painters, but instead he asked for the gynecologist again.
    The clerk asked, "Why do you want a gynecologist when we have two professional painters you can take right now?"
    He said, "Two weeks ago when I hired the gynecologist, we arrived at the house and it was locked with nobody home. But I'll be damned if that gynecologist didn't stick his hand through the mail slot and paint the whole house!"

     

    A pregnant brunette, redhead, and blonde were all in the waiting room of an OBGYN's office, discussing whether they thought they were going to have a boy or girl.

    "I know I’m having a boy because my husband was on top of me when we conceived our child," says the brunette.

    The redhead says, "I know we’re having a girl because I was on top of my husband when we conceived."

    The blonde starts crying uncontrollably. The brunette and redhead manage to get her to calm down enough to ask what the problem is.

    "I’m having puppies," cries the blonde.

     

    A middle-aged woman seemed timid as she visited her gynecologist.

    "Come now," coaxed the doctor, "you've been seeing me for years! There's nothing you can't tell me."

    "This one's kind of strange..." said the woman.

    "Let me be the judge of that," the doctor replied.

    "Well," said the woman, "Yesterday I went to the bathroom in the morning and I heard a plink-plink in the toilet. When I looked down, the water was full of pennies."
    "Mmmm, I see." said the, doctor.

    "That afternoon I went again and there were nickels in the bowl."

    "Uh-huh." the doctor said as he got more and more interested in her story.

    "That night," she went on, "there were dimes and this morning there were quarters! You've got to tell me what's wrong with me!" she implored. "I'm scared out of my wits!"

    The gynecologist put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "There is nothing to be frightened about. You're simply going through change."

     

    A woman goes to her doctor's office, to discuss a strange development. She has discovered a green spot on the inside of each thigh. They won't wash off, they won't scrape off, and they seem to be getting worse.

    The doctor assures her he'll get to the bottom of the problem, and tells her not to worry until he gets the tests back.

    A few days later, the woman's phone rings. Much to her relief, it's the doctor.
    She immediately begs to know what's causing the spots.

    The doctor says, "You're perfectly healthy--there's no problem. But I'm wondering, is your boyfriend a Harley guy?"

    The woman stammers, "Why, Yes, but how did you know?"

    "Tell him his earrings aren't real gold."

     

     

    This guy wakes up out of a deep sleep and, feeling real horny, nudges his wife awake and asks, "Why don't we get it on, eh?"

    She replies, "I have an appointment at the gynecologist tomorrow and you know I don't like to make love the night before."

    So the husband agrees and rolled back over and started to go back to sleep. A few minutes later, he nudges his wife again and asks, "You don't by any chance have a dentist's appointment tomorrow, do you?"

     

    A lady called her gynecologist, and asked for an "emergency" appointment. The receptionist said to come right in. She rushed to the office, and was ushered right into an examination room. The doctor came into the exam room and asked about her problem.

    She was very shy about her emergency problem, and asked the gynecologist to please examine her vagina.

    So the doctor started to examine her. He stuck up his head after completing his examination. "I'm sorry, Miss," he said, "but removing that vibrator is going to involve a very lengthy , delicate and expensive surgical operation."

    "I'm not sure I can afford it," sighed the young woman. "But while I am here could you just replace the batteries?”

     

    A gynecologist was getting sick of his job and decided that he needed a career change. He'd always enjoyed tinkering with engines so thought he'd become a mechanic. So he went along to mechanics school and the final test was to strip the engine completely and reassemble it back into perfect working order. So our gynecologist friend did the test and anxiously awaited his results. The day he received the results, he got quite a surprise - he got 150%. He quickly phoned the instructor and asked about the high mark. The instructor said, "No, that's right. First, I gave you 50% for stripping down the engine - a very thorough job. Next, I gave you 50% for reassembling it - a fantastic job really. And then I gave you a 50% bonus for doing it all through the tail pipe."
