Then there's the woman who goes to the dentist.  As he leans over to begin
working on her, she grabs his balls.  The dentist says, "Madam, I believe you've
got a hold of my privates."  The woman replies, "Yes.  We're going to be careful
not to hurt each other, aren't we."

A businessman was in Japan to make a presentation to the Toyota motor people.
Needless to say, this was an especially important deal, and it was imperative
that he make the best possible impression.  On the morning of the presentation
he awoke to find himself passing gas, in large volumes, with the unpleasant
characteristic of sounding like "HONDA."  The man was besides himself.  Every
few minutes "HONDA", "HONDA"....  Unable to stop this aberrant behavior, and in
desperate need to terminate these odious and rather embarrassing emissions, he
sought a physicians aid.  After a full examination, the doctor told him that
there was nothing inherently wrong with him and that he would just have to wait
it out.  Being unwilling to accept this state of affairs he visited a second
and then a third doctor all of whom told him the same thing.  Finally one medic
suggested that he visit a dentist.  Well although he could not see how a
dentist was going to be of any help, he visited one anyway.  Lo and behold, the
dentist said, "Ah, there's the problem"  "What is it?" the man asked.  "Why you
have an abscess," said the dentist.  "An abscess.  How could that be causing my
problem?" asked the man.  "That's easy," replied the dentist.  "Why everyone
knows...  Abscess makes the fart go Honda."

   One day, a man walked into the dentist"s office for some dental work.
   The dentist said, "Sir, you have a tooth I must pull, What type of pain
killer would you like?"
   The man looked at the dentist and said, "None, thanks, I have experienced the
second greatest pain in my life."
   The dentist said, "Sir, pulling this tooth Will be painful, I suggest a
painkiller"
   The man looked back at the dentist and said, "I have experienced the second
greatest pain in my life, Nothing else will ever compare."
   The dentist said, "Sir, I"m telling you, use a painkiller."
   The man again said to the dentist, "I have experienced the second greatest
pain in my life, I do not need painkillers, now pull the tooth."
   The dentist then said, "Okay, You asked for it, But first, tell me what was
the second greatest pain in your life?"
   The man said, "Yes, I remember it well.  I was hunting in some woods north of
here one snowy day. Walking through the woods, the urge came upon me and I
headed over to a tree. Well, I started to do my thing, and when the first part
dropped, It set off a large bear trap that was hidden in the snow that closed on
my balls. That was the second greatest pain in my life"
   The dentist then said, "Ouch!  But then what was the first greatest pain in
your life?"
   The man replied, "When I reached the end of the chain."

There was a young dentist named Sloan
who catered to women alone.
In an act of depravity,
he filled the wrong cavity,
and said, "My, how my business has grown!"

   Here's a really mean trick that you can play on people waiting in the
dentist's office.
   I recently had my wisdom teeth removed and had an appointment for a check-up
to see how my mouth was healing.  So naturally, in the oral surgeon's waiting
room, there were people that were going to have some dental surgery and everyone
looked pretty nervous.  Except for I, of course, because it was only going to be
a brief appointment (5 minutes or so).  So after the check-up, I stuffed some
Kleenex into my mouth, opened up the door to the waiting room, and announced
loudly to my waiting father, "Boy! that was the fastest tooth pull they've ever
done!"
   The expressions on the patients faces were priceless.  And my father thought
that what I did was extremely evil.  Try it!  You'll like it!

   A man went to the dentist to get his teeth checked.  While he was sitting in
the chair being examined, the dentist said to him, "Have you done oral sex
lately?"
   The man replied, "Why yes, I did this morning actually.  How could you tell?
Have you found a pubic hair stuck in my tooth?"
   The dentist says, "No, not quite.  You've got some shit on the end of your
nose!"

-= dentists =-=   14 =----------------------------------------------------------

I love to go to the dentist.  A man in white hovering over me while I'm trapped
helpless in a chair.  He cleans me.  He flosses me.  His instruments alive in my
mouth.  And just when I don't think I can take it anymore, he says, 'Good girl,
Marcie, you can spit now.'  - Marcie, from the "Married With Children" sitcom.

In 1993, Tel Aviv University and the Warner-Lambert Co. sponsored the First
International Workshop on Bad Breath.  Shlomo Goren, former chief rabbi of
Israel, told the conference that Jewish law makes bad breath a legitimate ground
for divorce.  (One study by the Kyushu Dental College in Japan used human
sniffers to categorize the smells in the mouths of 2,600 subjects.)

When my stepfather retired from his orthodontist practice, we got business cards
printed up for him.  They looked sort of like this:

  -------------------------------------------
 |No Practice                 No Commitments |
 |No Appointments               No Deadlines |
 |No Payroll                      No Alibies |
 |         Arthur E. Carlsen, D.D.S.         |
 |             Orthodontist                  |
 |               Retired                     |
 |No Plans                    No Connections |
 |No Problems                   No Prospects |
 |No Responsibilities             No Nothing |
  -------------------------------------------

He absolutely LOVED his new business cards and hands them out to all his golf
buddies!  They were a fun gift!

   A lady goes to the dentist.  In the chair, the dentist notices a little brown
spot on one of her teeth.
   "Aha, caries!  I'll have to drill this one out!" says the dentist.
   "Oh no, I'd rather have a child!!!" cries the lady. 
   "In that case, let me adjust the chair first," replies the dentist.

   A doctor has come to see one of his patients in a hospital.  The patient has
had major surgery to both of his hands.  "Doctor," says the man excitedly and
dramatically holds up his heavily bandaged hands.  "Will I be able to play the
piano when these bandages come off?"
   "I don't see why not," replies the doctor.
   "That's funny," says the man.  "I wasn't able to play it before."

   A woman decides that she's not amply enough endowed in the chest, so she goes
to her plastic surgeon about getting implants.
   "What are my options?" she asks the doctor.
   "Well," the doctor responded, "The very best, most realistic implants are
made of silicone."
   "Okay.  What's the price tag on those?"
   "$25,000."
   The woman sighed.  "I don't have $25,000 to spare.  Are there any other
options?"
   "The next best type of implants are rubber.  They're less realistic, but the
process is quite a bit cheaper, about $10,000."
   The woman shook her head.  "I'm afraid I just can't afford that.  Sorry I
wasted your time."
   "Wait," said the doctor.  "There is one more option, but it's in the
experimental stages.  If you're willing to try it out, it will be free."
   "Okay," said the woman cautiously.  "What kind of implants are these?"
   "Balloons," replied the doctor.  "It requires a less invasive procedure, but
they must be reinflated periodically."
   The woman decided to go for the operation.  It was successful, and when it
was all finished the doctor showed her how to inflate them, like this: {Put
fingers on chest just above bosom.  Move your elbows up and down like a chicken
flapping its wings.}  So, once she fully recovered, the woman went to a singles
bar.  She spied a likely-looking prospect on the other side of the bar.  She
walked over, making sure that her breasts were inflated {repeat chicken-wing

   A woman came into a doctor's surgery and complained to him about her flat
chest.  "Doctor, my life's terrible.  No man takes any interest in me because of
my flat chest.  It's driving me crazy.  You must help me somehow doctor or I'll
do something drastic."
   Examining her chest, the doctor agreed that it was indeed very flat, although
he told her that the condition wasn't abnormal.  However, seeing her extreme
state of distress the doctor told her, "There is a series of exercises that can
be used to develop a larger chest, but I'm afraid it requires a lot of
discipline and persistence."
   "Oh doctor, tell me please.  I'm so desperate that I promise that I'll do
whatever you recommend."
   "Well, you must stand upright with your arms horizontal and bent so that your
hands are in front of your chest."
   The woman duly stood up and did as the doctor told her.
   "Now, quickly push your elbows repeatedly backwards to the rhythm 'I must. I
must. I must.  I must increase my bust'.  This will exercise your pectoral
muscles.  If you do this every 15 minutes for 2 months you should find that your
breasts will grow larger.  But you must do it every 15 minutes."
   The woman carried out the exercise saying, "I must.  I must.  I must.  I must
increase my bust."
   Thanking the doctor the woman left and went outside to the bus stop to await
her ride home.  During her wait, she looked at her watch and realised that it
was time for her exercise.  So she got her arms in the right position and,
pushing back her elbows, exercised to the rhythm, "I must.  I must.  I must.  I
must increase my bust."
   When she'd finished, she felt a tap on her shoulder and, turning around, she
found a small, weakly looking man standing behind her. He asked, "Excuse me, but
could you tell me the time?"
   "Sure", she replied, "it's 10 past 3."
   The man said, "Oh dear, it's time." and proceeded to hop up and down saying
"Hickory dickory dock..."

   A woman goes to a doctor with a problem.  She's sat on the chair next to the
doctor, and she's very hesitant about describing her problem.  Eventually, the
doctor manages to discover that she thinks she may be sexually perverted.  "What
sort of perversion are you talking about?" asks the doctor.
   "Well," said the woman, "I like to be...  Ohh...  Ah...  Ummm...  I'm sorry
doctor, but I'm too ashamed to talk about it."
   "Come, come, my dear.  I'm a doctor you know; I've been trained to understand
these problems.  So what's the matter...?"
   So the woman again tried to explain, but got so embarrassed that she just
turned bright red and looked as though she might faint.  It was then the doctor
had a bright idea.  "Look," he said, "I'm a bit of a pervert myself.  So if you
show me what your perversion is, I'll show you what mine is.  Okay?  Is it a
deal?"
   The woman considered the offer and after a short while agreed that it was a
fair request.  So after a slight pause, she said, "Well my perversion is...  My
perversion...  Oh...  I like to be kissed on the bottom!"
   "Shit, is that ALL!" said the doctor.  "Look, go behind that screen, take all
your clothes off, and I'll come round and show you what MY perversion is!  Hee
Hee!"
   So the woman does as she is told and undresses behind the screen.  She gets
down on all fours thinking to herself, "Hmmmm, perhaps he might kiss me on the
bum."
   Anyway, fifteen minutes pass and nothing has happened.  So the woman peers
around the side of the screen to see the doctor sitting behind his desk, his
feet up on the table, reading a newspaper and whistling to himself.  "Hey!"
shouted the woman, "I thought you said you were a pervert?"
   "Oh I am," said the doctor, "I've just shit in your handbag."

bout of stomach trouble had sent him to the doctor.  The doctor prescribed
plenty of milk and gave Chico a bottle of pills.  "I'll stop by this evening and
see how you're doing," the doctor said.  "In the meantime, drink at least four
glasses of milk.  Milk is the ticket for curing your trouble.  So drink plenty
of it."
   That evening, the doctor returned, examined Chico and told him, "You're much
better this evening.  Just be sure you don't drink any milk.  Not one glass. 
It's not for you."
   "But, doctor," Chico exclaimed, "only this morning you told me that milk was
what I needed and that I should drink four glasses of it."
   "Well, what do you know?" the doctor replied.  "It certainly goes to show
that we've made tremendous progress in medicine since the last time I saw you."

Carrot and one day, as they were coming back from lunch, Mr. Turtle says to Mr.
Carrot, "You know, you're getting fat."
   To which Mr Carrot says, "You're not so slim yourself!"

   So the race starts and they had only got about a block down the street when

that he's in a pretty bad way, so he rushes to the phone and calls Mr. Cabbage,

to the hospital he asks the nurse, Miss Cauliflower, whether he will be alright.
"Miss Cauliflower, Miss Cauliflower, will Mr. Turtle be alright?"
   She replies, "Well, I couldn't really say, you'll have to ask Dr. Bean."
   So he rushes over to Doctor Bean and says, "Doctor Bean, Doctor Bean, will
Mr. Turtle be alright?"
   And the Doctor says, "Well, I wouldn't like to say, you'd best ask the
specialist, Doctor Pea."

   And Doctor Pea says, "I've done all I can for him, it's all in the hands of

finished the operation and rushes up to Dr. Turnip and says, "Doctor Turnip,

One night in the pub, the publican is lamenting the fact that business is so
quiet on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  As he moans to some of the regulars
a stranger, dressed in a tweed jacket and wearing glasses wanders over and says,
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help overhearing your conversation.  I'm a doctor at
the lunatic asylum up the road and I'm trying to integrate some of the more sane
individuals into the community.  Why don't I bring some of my patients along,
say next Tuesday.  You'll have some customers and my patients will have a night
out." Well, the publican isn't sure but the thought of more paying customers on
a quiet night appeals, so he agrees.  So, the following Tuesday the guy in the
tweed jacket and glasses shows up with about ten lunatics.  He says to the
publican, "Give them whatever they want, put it on a tab and I'll settle up at
closing time." The publican has a great time selling loads of drinks and
encouraging the loonies to eat crisps and peanuts.  The loonies have a great
time, getting drunk but they behave themselves.  At closing time the publican
adds up the bill and it comes to just over a hundred pounds!  The guy with the
glasses and the tweed jacket starts to organize the loonies ready to take them
back to the asylum.  Finally he comes over and asks for the bill.  The publican,
feeling that he's charged them rather a lot and feeling he should do his bit to
help these poor unfortunate people gives him a discount. "Its eighty quid," he
says.  The guy in the tweed jacket smiles and says, "That's fine.  Have you got
change for a dustbin lid?"

   "Oh..  Half a pack a day."
   "Starting NOW, no more smoking."  The man agrees.

   "Oh, well Doc, not much, just a bit of wine with my meals, and a beer or two
every once in a while."
   "Starting now, you drink only water.  No exceptions."
   The man is a bit upset, but also agrees.
   The doctor asks, "How do you eat?"
   "Oh, well, you know, Doc, normal stuff."
   "Starting now you are going on a very strict diet.  You are going to eat only
raw vegetables, with no dressing, and non-fat cottage cheese."

   "Do you want to live long?"
   "Yes."
   "Well then, it's absolutely necessary.  And don't even think of breaking the
diet."  The man is quite restless, but the doctor continues, "Do you have sex?"

   "As soon as you get out of here you are going to buy twin beds.  No more sex
for you.  None."

Received from someone who thought it was a true story:

   A kid had cut open a golf ball and had *eaten* the liquid centre.  The stuff
in this case was a thick, dark fluid, and the child's mother naturally assumed
that it was some petroleum product.
   She frantically called the family doctor, and as she was rushing to the
doctor's office with the apparently poisoned kid, the general practitioner was
rapidly flipping through the "Common Household Poisons" book.  There was no
mention of golf balls in it.  The doctor called up a golf ball manufacturer and
explained the situation; but they said that their golf balls had a solid core.
   "I wish I'd asked the name of the manufacturer!" the doctor lamented.
   The ball manufacturer helpfully named their sole competitor that made balls
with liquid centres.
   Another quick phone call, and the answer: the centre was made of cod liver
oil.

   One day, John's tennis elbow was acting up and he decided to stop in and see
a doctor.  When he got to the doctor's office the nurse told him he could see
the doctor in 15 minutes but, first he'd have to give a urine sample.  John said
that this was absurd but, the nurse insisted and John complied.  15 minutes

   "So that tennis elbow is really acting up, huh?" the doctor said.

just purchased this new machine that could diagnose every physical condition
with total accuracy based on the urine contents.  John didn't believe a word of

urinalysis took half an hour.  Finally, John was ushered in to see the doctor.

next time that you're memory is acting up, just take the other pill."  And the

"Well, it's risky, but okay."  So into the operating room they go for the brain
removal procedure.  Later, when the German guy wakes up, the doctor comes in and
says, "We are verrrryyyy sorry, but we accidentally removed 75% of your brain
instead of 50%."  The guy looks up and says, "Mama Mia!"

   First man: There's a guy who lives up the street from me who used to work in
construction.  One day last year his hand got run over by a bulldozer.  Whatever
those doctors did, it's really amazing - today he's a concert pianist.
   Second man: That's nothing.  I knew a guy in college - laziest bum I ever
knew.  He was really fat and out of shape.  He was trying to hitch a ride one
day and got hit by a truck.  Broke nearly every damn bone in his body.  Somehow
they put him back together better than he was before.  Now he's a triathlete and
he's planning to try out for the olympics.
   Third man: Yeah, well I knew this poor retarded kid.  He couldn't do a whole
lot, but someone at the dynamite factory got charitable and gave him a job as a
stockboy.  Anyways, he's working in the warehouse one day and gets locked in.
It's dark and he can't find the door.  Not being too bright, he lit a match to
try and find his way.  The whole place exploded.  All they could find of him was
a few fingers and his eyebrows.  From that little bit they were able to put him
back together and today that kid is the governor of Massachusetts.

   "I haven't got the fingers."
   The doctor says, "What do you mean, you haven't got the fingers?  This is the
age of medical advances.  We've go microsurgery and all sorts of incredible
techniques!  Why didn't you bring me the fingers?"

thing done.  A couple of weeks later he was talking to one of his old buddies
about it.  "Gee, it must have really hurt when they shot all that silicon into
your chest to make your breasts."  "Not really, I hardly felt it."  "Well, it
must have really hurt when they chopped off your manhood!"  "Nope, I didn't
really feel it either.  The only thing that really hurt was when they drilled a
hole in my skull and sucked out half my brain."

   "That's not so much," says the doctor.  "Yes, but that's not all.  Twice a
day I have sex with my secretary, TWICE a day," replies the man.
   "Well that is probably a bit excessive," says the doctor.  "Yes, but that's

doctor about it.  The doctor says to him, "Well, it must be your diet, what sort
of greens do you eat?"
   The man replies, "Well, actually, I only eat peas, I hate all other green
foods."
   The doctor was quite shocked at this and says, "Well man, that's your
problem, all those peas will be clogging up your system, you'll have to give
them up!!"
   The guy says, "But how long for, I mean I really like peas!"
   The doctor replies, "Forever, I'm afraid."

condition improves, so he realizes that he will never eat a pea again.

A Code Of Ethical Behavior For Patients

1.  Do not expect your doctor to share your discomfort.

    Involvement with the patient's suffering might cause him to lose valuable
    scientific objectivity.

2.  Be cheerful at all times.

    Your doctor leads a busy and trying life and requires all the gentleness and
    reassurance he can get.

3.  Try to suffer from the disease for which you are being treated.

    Remember that your doctor has a professional reputation to uphold.

4.  Do not complain if the treatment fails to bring relief.

    You must believe that your doctor has achieved a deep insight into the true
    nature of your illness, which transcends any mere permanent disability you
    may have experienced.

5.  Never ask your doctor to explain what he is doing or why he is doing it.

    It is presumptuous to assume that such profound matters could be explained
    in terms that you would understand.

6.  Submit to novel experimental treatment readily.

    Though the surgery may not benefit you directly, the resulting research
    paper will surely be of widespread interest.

7.  Pay your medical bills promptly and willingly.

    You should consider it a privilege to contribute, however modestly, to the
    well-being of physicians and other humanitarians.

8.  Do not suffer from ailments that you cannot afford.

    It is sheer arrogance to contract illnesses that are beyond your means.

9.  Never reveal any of the shortcomings that have come to light in the course
    of treatment by your doctor.

    The patient-doctor relationship is a privileged one, and you have a sacred
    duty to protect him from exposure.

10. Never die while in your doctor's presence or under his direct care.

    This will only cause him needless inconvenience and embarrassment.

From "What The Queen Said", by Stoddard King:

The Doctors

Nowadays there's little meaning
For a person to be gleaning
When a man attaches "Doctor" to his name
He may be a chiropractor
Or a painless tooth extractor
He's entitled to the title just the same.

Or perhaps he is a preacher
Or a lecturer or teacher,
Or an expert who cures chickens of the pip;
He may keep a home for rummies,
Or massage fat people's tummies,
Or specialize in ailments of the hip.

Everybody is a "doctor,"
From the backwoods herb concocter
To the man who takes bunions from your toes;
From the frowning dietician
To the snappy electrician
Who shocks you loose from all the body's woes.

So there's very little meaning
For a sufferer to be gleaning
When a man attaches "Doctor" to his name.
He may pound you, he may starve you,
He may cut your hair or carve you,
You have got to call him Doctor all the same!

   Johnny and Jim are walking through the desert.  Suddenly, a snake bites Jim's
prick!  "AAIIIIIII!!"  He panics, and John panics.  "What can we do?" "We should
call for a doctor." WHAMMM!  Suddenly, in the middle of the desert, there's a
telephone box.  Johnny goes in, calls a doctor.  RING, RING.  RING, RING.
   J: My friend is bitten by a snake.  What to do?
   D: What kind of snake?
   J: A one meter, green-yellow one.
   D: Aye, aye.
   J: ?
   D: Those are very dangerous.
   J: What can we do?
   D: The only thing you can do, is to suck the poison out.  Otherwise, your
friend will be dead within half an hour.
   Johnny hangs up, goes out off the telephone box.  Jim, pale looking already,
asks what the doctor said.
   Johnny: You'll be dead within half an hour.

   A young mother had just given birth to a newborn baby and the nurse was
congratulating her when the doctor came in bouncing the baby from hand to hand
like a basketball.
   "Here's your baby, maam" says the doctor.
   The doctor then throws the baby on the floor, hurls it up against the wall,
picks it up and twirls it around several times, and then drop kicks it straight
out of the 10th floor window.
   Totally bewildered, the woman gives out a loud shriek and hollers, "My God!!!
What have you done to my baby?!?!!!"
   The doctor chuckles a little to himself and says, "April Fools!!!  He was

   The crofter's wife went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor
was called out to assist in the delivery.  To keep the father-to-be busy, the
doctor handed him a lantern and said: "Here, you hold this high so I can see
what I'm doing."
   Soon, a lusty baby boy was brought into the world.
   "Och!" said the doctor. "Don't be in a rush to put the lantern by...I think
there's yet another wee bairn to come."
   Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a bonnie lass.
   "Na, dinna be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, lad...It
seems there's yet another one besides!" cried the doctor.
   The crofter scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor: "Well,

   A blond guy visits the hospital.  "I want to be castrated!" he demands
cheerfully.
   "Are you sure about this?" the doctor asks.  "Have you discussed it with your
wife?"
   "Yes, yes!  I've thought about this for a long time.  Let's get it over
with!"
   So, the operation is performed.  Since it's relatively simple, the blond guy
only has to stay in the hospital for two days.  On his way home, he meets a
friend.
   "Well, hello!  I haven't seen you for a couple of days," his friend says. 
   "No, I've been to the hospital," replies the blond.
   "Well, that's funny.  I'm on my way there right now!"
   "Really?  So, what's up?"
   "I'm going to be vaccinated."

   "What?" said the doctor, "surely you don't want that."
   "Yes," said the man, "that's what I want; I insist."
   So, the doctor told him to check into the hospital.  When he did he was
stripped, laid on a cart, wheeled into the operating room, anaesthetized, and
CHWOP! off they came.  The next day, he woke up in a double room and, wanting to
be socialable, asked the man in the next bed what he was in for.
   "Oh, I was circumsized," the man said.

   That depends on whether it has health insurance.
   Three.  One to find a bulb specialist, one to find a bulb installation
specialist, and one to bill it all to Medicare.

later.
   None.  They only sign the death certificate and phone the mortuary.

   This fellow had been suffering from excruciating headaches for some time, and
finally went to a doctor.  After a thorough exam, the physician called the
fellow into his office and said, "Well, I'm not exactly sure what is causing
your headaches, but we've found a cure for them: you'll have to be castrated."
   The man, needless to say, was taken aback, and told his doctor that he
believed he would try to bear the pain.  But as time went on, the headaches only
got worse, and finally, the poor fellow was driven back to the doctor.
   "All right, I guess I'll have the operation," he said.
   When it was all over, the man was understandably depressed, and his physician
told him, "I recommend you begin life anew.  Start over from this point."
   So the man decided to take the advice and went to a men's shop for a new set
of clothes.  The proprietor said, "Starting with the suit, looks like you take
about a 38-regular."
   "That's right," exclaimed the man, "How'd you know?"
   "Well, when you've been in the business as long as I have, you get pretty
good at sizing a man up," replied the salesman.  "Now, for a shirt, looks like
about a 15 long."
   "Right again," the man said.
   The proprietor suggested, "And for undershorts, I'd say a size 36."
   "There's your first mistake," the man said, "I've worn 34's for years."
   "No, you're a size 36 if I've ever seen one," said the owner.
   The man replied, "I ought to know what size undershorts I wear, and I'll take
34."
   The owner replied, "Well all right, if you insist, but they're going to pinch
your balls and give you headaches!!"

A really handsome man had a high squeaky voice.  He was surrounded by girls

doctor said he could fix the problem by cutting off the man's penis.  The man
agreed to the surgery, and sure enough his voice went to normal and he was
surrounded by women.  Later he decided to get a whole new wardrobe.  The tailor
took a look at him and rattled of figures ending up with underwear size 36.  The

   One day there was a guy who always scream when he talks.  Every time he tries
to talk to his family and friends the first thing they do is cover their ears
because the guy was about to scream.  So his family suggest him to go to the
doctor for a reason why he always scream.
   Doctor:  What is the problem, sir?
   Man: (screaming) I don't know?
   D: Why do you scream all the time?
   M: (screaming) I don't know?
   The doctor looks at his doctor book to try to find a cure for his ever
screaming voice.
   D: Well sir I think I know what the problem is.
   M: (scream) What is it?
   D: You must have a hugh penis.
   It turns out that the guy had a hugh 20 inch penis.  So the doctor suggest
that he remove 13 inches of his penis so that his voice will become normal.
After surgery, the guy wakes up and tried to talk.  "Um... hello... hello"   His
voice turned out to be normal as the doctor said that it would be.
   So four months later, the guy was curious what the doctor did with the rest
of the 13 inches that he cut out.  Maybe for research purposes or something he
thought.  He calls the doctor and asked him:
   Man: Sir you performed surgery on my penis a few months back.  Do you
remember?
   Doctor:  Hmm Hmm

inches.

disappeared.

am, I can see this absolutely stunning and gorgeous babe.  She's blonde and
built like a Corvette, just all curves.  Anyway, she's so horny that every night
I see her take a hotdog from the refrigerator and stick it in a hole in the
floorboard of her trailer.  Then she gets down and masturbates herself on the
hotdog.
   "And?" prompted the doctor.
   "Well," said the man, "I felt that this was a lot of wasted pussy, so, one
day, I slid myself underneath her trailer and when she put the hotdog into the
hole, I removed it and substituted my dick.  It was a great idea and everything
was going real good, too.  Then someone knocked at her door, and she jumped off
my hotdog and tried to kick it under the stove."

This young couple had only been married for about two weeks when the wife
complains of a burning sensation in her chest.  She tells her husband who
suggests that she goes to the doctor to be examined.  She arranges an
appointment and goes the following day.  The husband, while at work receives a
call from the doctor.  Doctor: "I am sorry to say your wife has acute angina..."
Husband: "Yeah, I know, she's also got a nice pair of tits too!"

   A mute was walking down the street one day and chanced upon a friend of his
(also a mute).  In sign language, he inquired how his friend had been doing.
The friend replied (vocally!), "Oh, can that hand-waving shit.  I can talk now."
   Intrigued, the mute pressed him for details.  It seems that he had gone to a
specialist, who, seeing no physical damage, had put him on a treatment program
that had restored the use of his vocal chords.  Gesturing wildly, the mute asked
if he might meet this specialist.  They got an appointment that very afternoon. 
   After an exam, the specialist proclaimed that there was no permanent damage,
that the mute was essentially in the same condition as his buddy, and that there
was no reason why he couldn't be helped as well.
   "Yes, yes" signed the mute.  "Let's have the first treatment right now!" 
   "Very well," replies the specialist.
   "Kindly go into the next room, drop your pants and lean over the examining
table.  I'll be right in."
   The mute does as instructed and the doctor sneaks in with a broomstick,
mallet, and jar of Vaseline.  Greasing the broom handle, he "sends it home" with
a few deft swipes of the mallet.
   The mute jumps from the table, screaming, "AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
   "VERY good," smiles the doctor.  "Next Tuesday, we start with 'B'"

A man went to a doctor.  Some say he went there to have an operation to become
Polish; others say he wanted to become an Aggie; there's yet another faction who
claims that he wanted to work at the post office; still others say he wanted to
make his hair permanently blond.  Regardless, the doctor asked him why, and he
said it was something he always wanted to do, how he wanted to be able to relate
to his friends, all of whom I suppose were blond Polish graduates of Texas A&M
who had found jobs at the local P. O.  Anyway, the doctor asked him his IQ, and
when he gave a three-digit reply, the doctor told him that the procedure would
have to involve the removal of over half of his brain.  The man insisted, and
since the doctor just happened to have a brand new laser device which could zap
just the right portions of brain tissue (a product of Scar Wars technology, I
suppose), the operation was planned.  The laser was hooked up to a computer
which could monitor the man's declining IQ on a nice LED display.  The doctor
threw the switch and the numbers began ticking off.  95, 94, 93...  Suddenly the
phone rang.  It was the doctor's wife.  They gabbed for minutes on end, the
doctor forgetting completely about his patient.  When he hung up, he suddenly
realized, and ran into the operating room, only to see the meter tick down: 6,
5, 4...  He ran to the machine and threw the on/off switch, just as the laser
was about to wipe out the last remnant of brain.  "Jesus, Matty and Felipe!"
exclaimed the doctor, "What have I done?  Speak to me!  Say anything!!"  The man
looked at him and said, "Hi, you're watching MTV, and we just heard..."

   There once was a poor lad named Timmy who had the misfortune of being born
with only a head - no arms, no legs, nothing but a head.  Now Timmy was a
basically happy person and he was loved and cared for by his family.  As long as
he stayed within the shelter of his family he was unworried by his condition,
but as soon as he was thrust out into the world he knew that something was
seriously wrong.  He began to dream about being a whole person with arms and
legs and a body.  He thought of nothing else.  It became an obsession.
   Then one day, Timmy heard of the famous Dr. Helen Von Rigginbottom, a
physician who had been experimenting with cloning and tissue regeneration.
Timmy grew so excited he could hardly contain himself.  He had himself rushed to
the doctor and made an appointment.  When the doctor met with Timmy all of his
hopes and dreams came true.  The doctor assured Timmy that she could help him
and would make him into a whole person, but she warned him that it could be a
dramatic change and he should consider all of the ramifications.  She began to
list some of the many problems he might have, but he would not listen.  She
consented and game Timmy the injection that would start the process.
   Timmy went home and tossed and turned on his pillow all night.  Eventually,
he fell asleep.  The next morning when he awoke Timmy was surprised to discover
that he was a whole person.  He had arms and legs and a body.  He was so excited
and grateful that he just had to thank the doctor, so he ran out of the house,
across the street and was hit by a truck and killed.  And of course the moral of
our story is: While you're a head, stay ahead.

   It had to happen sooner or later.  Lawyer Dobbins was wheeled into the
emergency room on a stretcher, rolling his head in agony.  Doctor Green came
over to see him.
  "Dobbins," he said, "What an honor.  The last time I saw you was in court when
you accused me of malpractice."
  "Doc.  Doc.  My side is on fire.  The pain is right here.  What could it be?"
  "How would I know?  You told the jury I wasn't fit to be a doctor."
  "I was only kidding, Doc.  When you represent a client you don't know what
you're saying.  Could I be passing a kidney stone?"
  "Your diagnosis is as good as mine."
  "What are you talking about?"
  "When you questioned me on the stand you indicated you knew everything there
was to know about the practice of medicine."
  "Doc, I'm climbing the wall.  Give me something."
  "Let's say I give you something for a kidney stone and it turns out to be a
gallstone.  Who is going to pay for my court costs?"
  "I'll sign a paper that I won't sue."
  "Can I read to you from the transcript of the trial?  Lawyer Dobbins: 'Why
were you so sure that my client had tennis elbow?'  Dr. Green: 'I've treated
hundreds of people with tennis elbow and I know it when I see it.'  Dobbins: 'It
never occurred to you my client could have an Excedrin headache?'  Green: 'No,
there were no signs of an Excedrin headache.'  Dobbins: 'You and your ilk make
me sick.' "
  "Why are you reading that to me?"
  "Because, Dobbins, since the trial I've lost confidence in making a diagnosis.
A lady cane in the other day limping..."
  "Please, Doc, I don't want to hear it now.  Give me some Demerol."
  "You said during the suit that I dispensed drugs like a drunken sailor.  I've
changed my ways, Dobbins.  I don't prescribe drugs anymore."
  "Then get me another doctor."
  "There are no other doctors on duty.  The reason I'm here is that after the
malpractice suit the sheriff seized everything in my office.  This is the only
place that I can practice."
  "If you give me something to relieve the pain I will personally appeal your
case to a higher court."
  "You know, Dobbins, I was sure that you were a prime candidate for a kidney
stone."
  "You can't tell a man is a candidate for a kidney stone just by looking at
him."
  "That's what you think, Dobbins.  You had so much acid in you when you
addressed the jury I knew some of it eventually had to crystallize into stones.
Remember on the third day day when you called me the 'Butcher of Operating Room
6'?  That afternoon I said to my wife, "That man is going to be in a lot of
pain.' "
  "Okay, Doc, you've had your ounce of flesh.  Can I now have my ounce of
Demerol?"
  "I better check you out first."
  "Don't check me out, just give the dope."
  "But in court the first question you asked me was if I had examined the
patient completely.  It would be negligent of me if I didn't do it now.  Do you
mind getting up on the scale?"
  "What for?"
  "To find out your height.  I have to be prepared in case I get sued and the
lawyer asks me if I knew how tall you were."
  "I'm not going to sue you."
  "You say that now.  But how can I be sure you won't file a writ after you pass
the kidney stone?"

   A WASP was driving his car at Sonoma County, where is a large mental
hospital, he realizes that one of the tires of his car is flat.  He stops his
car, looks outside.  There is nobody around.  Also he realizes that the road he
was riding was near the mental hospital.  In short, he realizes that there is no
available cheap labor to change the flat tire.  The WASP takes the spare tire
out, jacks up the car, removes the tire, puts the nuts in the hub cap and while
trying to get the spare tire, trips over the hub cap and all the nuts go down a
nearby storm sewer.  There he is, a WASP near a mental hospital, away from any
cheap labor, helpless.
   Suddenly, he hears someone yelling "Hey you!" looks and finds that there is
someone inside the mental hospitals' yard (behind the bars).  The patient behind
the bars says, "I have been watching you for a while and saw the terrible thing
happened to you, I think I can help."
   "How?" asks the WASP.
   "Easy," says the loonie, "Take one nut from each of the other three wheels
and put it on the fourth wheel, then if you are careful you will make it to the
nearest gas station."
   "You are very smart" says the WASP to the loonie and continues, "Why did they
locked you in?"
   "They put me in because I am a loonie," the guy tells the WASP and continues,
"Not because I am stupid."

The doctor, somewhat puzzled, agrees, they climb on his table, the boy gets on
top of the girl, and they have sex.  After observing them, the doctor says,
"Yes, you're having sex properly.  That will be forty dollars." They come back
the next day with the same request, but this time the boy enters the girl from
the rear.  They keep coming for four days in a row, using different positions
every day.  On the fifth visit the doctor says, "Why do you keep on coming back?
I told you you're having sex properly." The boy explains, "The hotel room
costs the same forty dollars, but this way we get reimbursed by Medicaid."

An American has sex with a Soviet emigre woman and catches a strange venereal

goes to a doctor who says he's never seen anything like it, but his penis would
probably have to be amputated.  The patient goes to another doctor, who also
doesn't know anything about this decease, but thinks the amputation is
indicated.  Deeply distressed, the patient decided to go to a Soviet emigre
doctor, figuring he may be familiar with this V. D.  Indeed, the Soviet emigre
doctor says, "I know this decease!  Your American doctors always want to cut.
Don't do anything.  Two week later, prick fall off by himself."

   A man was walking along a sidewalk in a very gentle manner, almost as if he
were walking on eggs.  Two doctors, also on foot, were across the street.  They
spotted the man and began to discuss his condition.  "Prostrate trouble," said
the first doctor.
   "Oh no, not at all.  That's a case of hemorrhoids if ever I saw one", said
the other.
   They tossed it back and forth until one of them suggested going over to talk
to the man.  "Mister, this gentleman and I are both doctors," said one, "and if
you'll pardon our intrusion, I figured you have a bad prostrate problem, but my
colleague thought it to be hemorrhoids.  Might you state the problem so that we
can solve our little dilemma?"
   "Well", said the man, "all three of us were wrong.  I thought it was gas."

   There was once a very prim and proper older lady who had a problem with
passing gas. Since she came from a generation when people didn't even talk about
this kind of problem it took a long time for her to seek help.  Finally,
however, she was persuaded to consult her family doctor.
   After she filled out all the proper forms and had waited about 20 minutes in
the waiting room the doctor called her into his office, leaned back in his
chair, folded his hands into a steeple and asked her how he could help.
   "Doctor," she said, "I have a very bad gas problem."
   "A gas problem?" replied the doctor.
   "Yes.  Yesterday afternoon, I had lunch with the Secretary of State and his
wife and had six, um, er, ahhh...silent gas emissions.  Last night, I had dinner
with the governor and his wife and had [blush] four silent gas emissions.  Then,
while sitting in your waiting room I had five silent gas emissions!  Doctor,
you've got to help me!  What can we do?"
   "Well," said the doctor thoughtfully, "I think the first thing we're going to
do is give you a hearing test."

   A doctor dies and goes to heaven.  St. Peter meets him at the pearly gates
and checks him in.  After he's registered, St. Peter says to him, "Look at the
time: you must be hungry!  Heaven Cafeteria is serving lunch, why don't you get
yourself something to eat?"
   The doctor goes to the cafeteria and notices the long line.  He immediately
cuts in at the front, only to hear loud protests.  "I'm a doctor" he says, "I'm
a busy man, I don't have time to wait in line."
   The others say, "You're in heaven now, we're all the same here, get to the
back of the line and wait your turn!"
   A few weeks later, waiting patiently on line for lunch, the doctor notices a
man come dashing in wearing scrubs and a lab coat, stethoscope around his neck.
He butts in at the head of the line and no one utters a peep.  "Hey," he says to
the guy in front of him, "Who does that guy think he is?"

   "A lot better, thank you," purred the star in reply. "But one thing does
bother me.  When will I be able to resume a normal sex life?"
   "Oh, that's rather hard to say," said the doctor.  "I've never been asked

Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, in conjunction with research associate Dr. Ed
Bluestone of the Surgeon General's office, has compiled for non-confidential
distribution a list of activities which, while not definitely linked to death or
established as causative factors in any specific form of physical or
physiological deterioration, have been determined through exhaustive reiteration
to be detrimental to the human condition and specifically to the welfare of
their perpetrator.  While implementation of any of these activities is not
specifically illegal as cited by state or federal jurisdictions, engagement in
any of said activities could very probably be construed as a gross breach of
common etiquette constraints and/or moral codes and analogs.  Widespread or
accelerated participation in any of the listed activities by an increasing or
superannuated segment of the population would be frowned on by  and erosive to
all reasonable, respected, and stalwart facets of American society.

The Surgeon General warns:

1.  Never raise your hand during a hijacking to indicate that you get a kosher
    meal.
2.  Never ask a bald man if you can borrow his toupee to clean your windshield.
3.  Never moon a werewolf.
5.  Never squeeze a parakeet to death while screaming, "I want the name of your
    accomplice!"
6.  Never threaten to punish your Dalmation with spot remover.
7.  Never use a bulldog as a surrogate mother.
8.  Never hire an attorney who can discuss specific episodes of The Flintstones.
15. Never trust an Oriental dentist who sells miniature ivory animals.
18. Never ask a dog with rabies if he would like you to floss his teeth.
19. Never believe your dog when he tells you that while you were out, your
    parents came over and drank water out of your toilet.
26. Never take a cockroach hostage and expect anyone to negotiate with you.
28. Never walk your dog around someone else's living room with a pooper scooper
    in your hand.
29. Never say to a lobster before you boil him, "Let me know if your bath is too
    hot."
31. Never tell an IRS auditor that if he doesn't leave you alone, you plan to
    cheat again next year.
35. Never tell Yasser Arafat that you think Newark should be the Palestinian
    homeland.

   A woman starts dating a doctor.  Before too long, she becomes pregnant and
they don't know what to do.  About nine months later, just about the time she is
going to give birth, a priest goes into the hospital for a prostate gland
infection.
   The doctor says to the woman, "I know what we'll do.  After I've operated on
the priest, I'll give the baby to him and tell him it was a miracle."
   "Do you think it will work?" she asks the doctor.
   "It's worth a try," he says.  So the doctor delivers the baby and then
operates on the priest.  After the operation he goes in to the priest and says,
"Father, you're not going to believe this."
   "What?" says the priest.  "What happened?"
   "You gave birth to a child."
   "But that's impossible!"
   "I just did the operation," insists the doctor.  "It's a miracle!  Here's
your baby."
   About fifteen years go by, and the priest realizes that he must tell his son
the truth.  One day he sits the boy down and says, "Son, I have something to
tell you.  I'm not your father."
   The son says, "What do you mean, you're not my father?"
   The priest replies, "I'm your mother.  The archbishop is your father."

Unusual Case
by William A. Morton, Jr, MD

From "Medical Aspects Of Human Sexuality"  July, 1991  p. 15

Scrotum Self-Repair

   One morning, I was called to the emergency room by the head ER nurse.  She
directed me to a patient who had refused to describe his problem other than to
say that he "needed a doctor who took care of men's troubles."  The patient,
about 40, was pale, febrile, and obviously uncomfortable, and had little to say
as he gingerly opened his trousers to expose a bit of angry red skin and
black-and-blue scrotal skin.
   After I asked the nurse to leave us, the patient permitted me to remove his
trousers, shorts, and two or three yards of foul-smelling stained gauze wrapped
about his scrotum, which was swollen to twice the size of a grapefruit and
extremely tender.  A jagged zig-zag laceration, oozing pus and blood, extended
down the left scrotum.
   Amid the matted hair, edematous skin, and various exudates, I saw some
half-buried dark linear objects and asked the patient what they were.  Several
days earlier, he replied, he had injured himself in the machine shop where he
worked, and had closed the laceration with a heavy-duty stapling gun.  The dark
objects were one-inch staples of the type used in putting up wallboard.
   We X-rayed the patient's scrotum to locate the staples; admitted him to the
hospital; and gave him tetanus antitoxin, broad-spectrum antibacterial therapy,
and hexachlorophene sitz baths prior to surgery the next morning.  The procedure
consisted of exploration and debridement of the left side of the scrotal pouch.
Eight rusty staples were retrieved, and the skin edges were trimmed and
freshened.  The left testis had been avulsed and was missing.  The stump of the
spermatic cord was recovered at the inguinal canal, debrided, and the vessels
ligated properly, though not much of a hematoma was present. Through-and-through
Penrose drains were sutured loosely in site, and the skin was loosely closed.
   Convalescence was uneventful, and before his release from the hospital less
than a week later, the patient confided the rest of his story to me.  An
unmarried loner, he usually didn't leave the machine shop during lunchtime with
his co-workers.  Finding himself alone, he had begun the regular practice of
masturbating by holding his penis against the canvas drive belt of a large
floor-based piece of running machinery.  One day, as he approached orgasm, he
lost his concentration and leaned too close to the belt.  When his scrotum
suddenly became caught between the pulley-wheel and the drive-belt, he was
thrown into the air and landed a few feet away.  Unaware that he had lost his
left testis, and perhaps too stunned to feel much pain, he stapled the wound
closed and resumed work.  I can only assume he abandoned this method of self
gratification.

   Three doctors are in the duck blind and a bird flies overhead.  The general
practitioner looks at it and says, "Looks like a duck, flies like a duck...it's
probably a duck," and shoots at it but misses and the bird flies away.
   The next bird flies overhead and the pathologist looks at it, then looks
through the pages of a bird manual, and says, "Hmmmm...green wings, yellow bill,
quacking sound...might be a duck."  He raises his gun to shoot it, but the bird
is long gone.
   A third bird flies over.  The surgeon raises his gun and shoots almost
without looking, brings the bird down, and turns to the pathologist and says,
"Go see if that was a duck."

difficulty with a lamp in his office, so he decided he had better unplug it.  He
was rewarded by a nasty shock.  Feeling lightheaded, he went into his own

   Gynecologists have a power that makes some men envious.  Who else can go into
various rooms where a woman is waiting for them and tells her, "Get undressed.
I'll be with you in a minute."
   And then they make you sit on this white deli paper.  You sometimes feel like
cold cuts sitting there.  You should always bring a pickle with you and put it
besides you on the paper.  Or better yet, have the pickle stick out from under
your underwear.  Then, when the doctor walks up to you, knock it off onto the
floor.
   He'll ask, "What's that?"
   And you can reply, "Syphilis, doc.  Nothing to worry about, really..."

   One night, as a couple lay down for bed, the husband gently taps his wife on
the shoulder and starts rubbing her arm.  The wife turns over and says, "I'm
sorry honey, I've got a gynecologist appointment tomorrow and I want to stay

   The husband, rejected but still quite horny, turns over and tries to sleep.
A few minutes later, he rolls back over and taps his wife again.
   This time he whispers in her ear, "Do you have a dentist appointment tomorrow

And they take my insides out,
But there's some of me here,
And it's all the more dear
For that which I do without.
They wash my stomach out until
I wish it were not mine,
And all the while they sweetly smile
And say, "She's doing fine!"
They give me broth instead of food,
And junk food for dessert,
They poke my tum and then, by gum,
They ask me if it hurts!
They tangle up my private works
With pains that will not pass,
And all the time, their faces shine...
You see, it's ONLY GAS!

wedding.
   "Father, how am I going to tell my husband that I am still a virgin?"
   "My child, you have been a married woman for many years.  Surely that cannot
be."
   "Well, father, my first husband was a psychologist, and all he wanted to do
was talk, and the next one was in construction and he always said he'd get to it

   The brash young gynecologist, fresh out of medical school, took one look at
his voluptuous new patient and abandoned his professional ethics entirely.  As
he stroked the supple skin of her naked body, he asked, "Do you understand what
I am doing?"
   "Yes," the patient answered.  "You're checking for dermatological abrasions."
   "Correct," the doctor lied.  Next, he fondled her breasts long and lovingly. 
Again, he inquired, "Do you understand what I am doing?"
   "You're feeling for cancerous lumps," she ventured.
   "Very astute," the doctor complimented, getting more excited.  He placed the
woman's feet in stirrups, dropped his pants, and slipped his member inside her. 
"And do you understand what I am doing now?"
   "All too well," the patient shot back.  "You're contracting herpes."

but you're 75 years old.  What possible use could you have for birth control
pills?"  The woman responded, "They help me sleep better."  The doctor thought
some more and continued, "How in the world do birth control pills help you to
sleep?"  The woman said, "I put them in my granddaughter's orange juice and I
sleep better at night."

   "She has been having some strange symptoms and I'm worried about her," the
mother said.
   The doctor examined the daughter carefully and then announced, "Madam, I
believe your daughter is pregnant."
   The mother gasped, "That's nonsense!  Why, my little girl has nothing
whatsoever to do with men."  She turned to the girl.  "You don't, do you, dear?"
   "No, mumsy," said the girl.  "Why, you know that I have never so much as
kissed a man!"
   The doctor looked from mother to daughter, and back again.  Then, silently he
stood up and walked to the window, staring out.  He continued staring until the
mother felt compelled to ask, "Doctor, is there something wrong out there?"
   "No, Madam," said the doctor.  "It's just that the last time anything like

From the "Los Angeles Times"

An Alameda mortician is peddling a set of plans to build your own casket which,
in the pre-afterlife, can double as a coffee table or bookcase.  "The attitude
of funeral home owners has been that eventually you're going to have to come to
them," said Al Carpenter, owner of Direct Funeral Services.  "This is the first
time you can do something on your own."

   There were three morticians trading stories in a bar one night.  The first
one says, "What a day I had today.  The guy wasn't wearing his seatbelt and his
head flew into the windshield.  Took me all day to make the face look natural."
   Not to be outdone, the second mortician says, "You think that's bad?  I had
this kid in who got hit by a train while he was riding his bike.  Took me TWO
days to put all the pieces back together!"
   The third mortician just shook his head.  "You guys have it easy," he said. 
"I had this female parachutist whose chute didn't open. She landed on a flagpole
and it took me all week just to wipe the smile off her face!"

Rachel Barton-Russell petitioned a court in Springfield, Ore., in February 1994
for a ruling on the meaning of the state's law against corpse abuse.  Her
deceased husband, Donal Eugene Russell, had declared in his will that he wanted
his skin used to make book covers for a collection of his poetry, but the state
Mortuary and Cemetery Board claims that carrying out that request would subject
a funeral home to liability for corpse abuse.

In Baton Rouge, La., in June 1994, minutes after funeral services for a 25-year-
old man ended, his body caught fire inside the closed coffin, causing smoke to
come shooting out of the cracks.  Investigators said embalming fluids
spontaneously combusted.

-= morticians =-=    6 =--------------------------------------------------------

A former municipal morgue attendant in Brisbane, Australia, told reporters that
in July 1994 that the morgue routinely made available for researchers a variety
of organs from corpses without permission from the families of the deceased.  In
particular, he said the morgue sold pituitary glands collected during the late
1980s for about 50 cents each to fund a staff Christmas party last year.

   The widow takes a look at her dear departed one right before the funeral and,
to her horror, finds that he's in his brown suit.  She'd specifically said to
the undertaker that she wanted him buried in his blue suit; she'd brought it
especially for that occasion, and she was distressed that the mortician had left
him in the same brown suit he'd been wearing when the lightning bolt hit him. 
   She demanded that the corpse be changed into the blue suit she'd brought
especially for that purpose.
   The undertaker said, "But madam!  It's only a minute or two until the funeral
is scheduled to begin!  We can't possibly take him out and get him changed in
that amount of time."
   The lady said, "Who's paying for this?"
   Seeing the logic to this argument, a very reluctant mortician wheeled the
coffin out, but then wheeled it right back in a moment later.  Miraculously, the
corpse was in a blue suit.
   After the ceremony, a well-satisfied widow complimented the undertaker on the
smooth and speedy service.  She especially wanted to know how he'd been able to
get her husband into a blue suit so fast.
   The funeral director said, "Oh, it was easy.  It happens that there was
another body in the back room and he was already dressed in a blue suit.  All we
had to do was switch heads."

   There's this old man in a nursing home and he's hornier than hell.  So he
sees this cute nurse and says, "How about a quickie for twenty bucks?"
   She agrees and gets on top of him.  They go at it for about ten minutes.
After the act, the old man says, "You know, if I knew you were a virgin, I would

   There was an old man whom, though loved by his son, was being put into an
old-folks home because the son could not provide the round-the-clock care the
old man required.
   "Don't leave me here to die alone here!" the old man said, when the day
finally came.
   "Now dad," said the son, "we discussed this, and you know its the best thing
for you.  I'll visit twice a week, and you can always pick up the phone and give
me a call."
   So the son left, and the old man was put to bed.  He immediately grabbed the
phone and called his son.  "You've got to come get me.  This is a terrible
place; the nurses all ignore me, the food's terrible, and I'm so alone!"
   "Now Dad, I just left you half an hour ago.  How can you tell in only 30
minutes what the place is like?  Stay there a few more days, and if it's really
that bad, we'll have to work something out."
   So the old man hung up, and eventually found his way to sleep.  The next
morning, the nurse woke him, and began to give him an in-bed sponge bath.  Much
to the old man's surprise, the attention caused him to become erect, so the
nurse sponged his penis, and then gave him one of the best blowjobs of his life.
   As soon as the nurse left, the old man called his son.  "Son, this is one
great place you've found for me!  The food's great, the company is excellent,
and I've never been happier!"
   "That's great news, Dad, I hoped you'd come to like the place once you'd
given it a chance."
   Later that afternoon, the old man was walking through the television room
when he tripped and fell.  Another resident of the home came over to the old
man, lifted up his robe, and buggered him from behind, mercilessly.
   When the old man got back to his room, he immediately grabbed the phone and
called his child, "Son, Son, you've got to get me out of this place!  Right
Now!"
   "But Dad, a few hours ago, you thought this was a great place to be, now,
I've got to run over there and get you?"
   "Son, you don't understand, I get an erection, maybe, once a year, but I fall
down two or three times a day!"

   The doctor interrupts his conversation with his colleague and shouts to the
chasing nurse, "Miss Jones, I said 'Prick his boil!'"

   Four nurses all decided to play a joke on the doctor they worked for, whom
they all felt was an arrogant jerk.  Later in the day, they all got together on
break and discussed what they had done to the doctor.
   The first nurse said, "I stuffed cotton in his stethoscope so he couldn't
hear."
   The second nurse said, "I let the mercury out of his thermometers and painted
them all to read 106 degrees."
   The third nurse said, "Well, I did worse than that.  I poked holes in all of
the condoms that he keeps in his desk drawer."
   The fourth nurse fainted.

True story:

About a week ago, I broke my ankle (in three places) and was in the hospital for
several days.  My first night in the hospital, after having surgery to rejoin
my bones with pins and plates and such, I was in a great deal of pain and quite
immobile.  My nurse for that first night was a very nice 50ish lady with a
strong German accent.  At one point in the middle of the night, she came in to
give me a shot of morphine.  She asked where I would like the shot and I pointed
to my right thigh.  I slid my blankets down and she lifted my gown.  With my
gown raised, she uttered the words, "Okay, small prick," and proceeded with the
injection.  I'm still not sure whether her words were meant to warn me of the
upcoming pain or as an editorial comment.

   A man goes to the doctor's office one day.  The nurse, quite attractive,
says, "The doctor is over at the hospital right now.  He won't be back for about
an hour.  Could you tell me your symptoms, please?"
   He tells her.  She looks at him appraisingly and decides he's just tense. 
She offers, "Well, um, for $50, I've got just the thing for you!"  He agrees,
and she takes him into an examining room and screws the daylights out of him.
   About a week later, he returns, only to find that the doctor is there.  The
doctor listens to the man's symptoms, examines him, and decides the man is just
tense.  The doctor writes out a prescription for a sedative and says, "That'll
be $150 for this visit."
   The man says, "If it's all the same to you, doctor, I'd rather have the $50
cure!"

   Three nurses died and went to the Pearly Gates.  St. Peter asked the first

   "Welcome," said St. Peter, "come right in.  And what did you do?" he asked
the second one.
   The second nurse replied, "I was an emergency room nurse and I saved hundreds
of lives."
   "Welcome," said St. Peter, "come right in.  And what did you do?" he asked
the third one.
   The third nurse replied, "I was a managed care nurse and I saved the

Heart Medical Center, was handling a donated human heart when she accidentally
dropped it on the floor.  Thinking she had contaminated it beyond use, she threw
it in the trash and falsified records to say it had been shipped to a
laboratory.  Her deed now exposed, she has been fined $250 and a letter of
reprimand has been placed in her state license file.  The surgery the heart was
intended for was cancelled, apparently BEFORE the mishap.

   A woman goes to her doctor who verifies that she is pregnant.  This is her
first pregnancy.  The doctor asks her if she has any questions.  She replies,
"Well, I'm a little worried about the pain.  How much will childbirth hurt?"
   The doctor answered, "Well, that varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to
pregnancy and besides, it's difficult to describe pain."
   "I know, but can't you give me some idea?," she asks.
   "Grab your upper lip and pull it out a little..."
   "Like this?"
   "A little more..."
   "Like this?"
   "No.  A little more..."
   "Like this?"
   "Yes.  Does that hurt?"
   "A little bit."
   "Now stretch it over your head!"

What a mother once told her teenage daughter about how it felt to have a baby,
"It's kinda like trying to pass a watermelon through a keyhole."

-= obstetricians =-=    5 =-----------------------------------------------------

   A California couple discovered the wife was pregnant, but the family simply
couldn't afford any more children.  They looked around and found an excellent
Hispanic family to adopt the child.  Then...they found out she was going to have
twins.  Fortunately, a family of Arab Americans agreed to adopt the other child.
Twin healthy boys were born and passed along to the families, who named them
Juan and Amal.
   The biological parents kept in close touch with the adoptive parents in a
very amicable relationships.  One day, Juan's family sent a picture of the youth
in his baseball uniform.  The biological mother was so proud of her son.  She
said to her husband, "He is so handsome!  I wish we had a picture like this of
our other son, too."  He replied, "Dear, they are twins.  When you've seen Juan,
you've seen Amal."

   I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after my wife had gone into
labor and the nurse walked out and said to the man sitting next to me,
"Congratulations sir, you're the new father of twins!"
   The man replied, "How about that, I work for the Doublemint Chewing Gum
company."  The man then followed the woman to his wife's room.
   About an hour later, the same nurse entered the waiting room and announced
that Mr. Smith's wife has just had triplets.  Mr. Smith stood up and said,
"Well, how do ya like that, I work for the 3M Company."
   The gentleman that was sitting next to me then got up and started to leave.
When I asked him why he was leaving, he remarked, "I think I need a breath of
fresh air."  The man continued, "I work for 7-UP."

   The new mother got out of bed for the first time since her childbirth dressed
in her robe and walked down the hospital hallway to the nurses desk where she
asked for a phone book.
   "What are you doing out here!  You should be in your room resting," the nurse
exclaimed.
   "I want to search through the phone book for a name for my baby," the new
mother replied.
   "You don't have to do that here.  The hospital furnished a booklet to all new
mothers to assist them in picking a first name for their baby."
   "You don't understand," the woman said and frowned.  "My baby already has a
first name."

   A young woman, two months pregnant, went to see her obstetrician.  He was in
a hurry to leave on an emergency call, so he asked her to quickly bare her
stomach, then reached into his desk and took out a rubber stamp, which he
pressed beside her navel.  He then rushed off.
   At home, she and her husband tried to read the tiny words printed on her
belly, but they were too small.  They then found a magnifying glass and tried to
read the words; the stamp read: "When your husband can read this without his
glasses, it's time to get yourself to the hospital."

   Max Brown, a young father-to-be, was waiting anxiously outside the maternity
ward where his wife was giving birth to their first baby. As he paced the floor,
a nurse popped her head around the door.
   "It's a boy, Mr. Brown," she said, "But we think you'd better go and have a
cup of coffee because there might be another!"
   Max turned a little pale and left.  Some time later, he rang the hospital and
was told he was the father of twins.
   "But," the nurse went on, "We're sure there's another on the way.  Ring back
again in a little while."
   At that, Max decided that coffee was not nearly strong enough.  He ordered a
few beers and rang the hospital again, only to be told a third baby had arrived
and a fourth was imminent.
   Whitefaced, he stumbled to the bar and ordered a double scotch.  Twenty
minutes later, he tried the phone again, but he was in such a state that he
dialed the wrong number and got the recorded cricket score.
   When they picked him up off the floor of the phone box, the recording was
still going strong, "The score is 96 all out, and the last one was a duck."

Ovulation Versus Cretinism

Two different theories exist concerning the origin of children: the theory of
sexual reproduction, and the theory of the stork. Many people believe in the
theory of sexual reproduction because they have been taught this theory at
school.  In reality, however, many of the world's leading scientists are in
favour of the theory of the stork.  If the theory of sexual reproduction is
taught in schools, it must only be taught as a theory and not as the truth.
Alternative theories, such as the theory of the stork, must also be taught.
Evidence supporting the theory of the stork includes the following:

1. It is a scientifically established fact that the stork does exist.  This can
   be confirmed by every ornithologist.

2. The alledged human foetal development contains several features that the
   theory of sexual reproduction is unable to explain.

3. The theory of sexual reproduction implies that a child is approximately nine
   months old at birth.  This is an absurd claim.  Everyone knows that a newborn
   child is newborn.

4. According to the theory of sexual reproduction, children are a result of
   sexual intercourse.  There are, however, several well-documented cases where
   sexual intercourse has not led to the birth of a child.

5. Statistical studies in the Netherlands have indicated a positive correlation
   between the birth rate and the number of storks.  Both are decreasing.

6. The theory of the stork can be investigated by rigorous scientific methods.
   The only assumption involved is that children are delivered by the stork.

   A teenager of about 17 has a hot date with a girl, so he decided to go to the
pharmacy to buy some condoms.
   The pharmacist says, "What can I help you with?"
   The teen hesistantly says, "I'd like to...uh... ah... buy a condom."
   Pharmacist says, "Okay.  Here you are."  (Sets a box of condoms on counter)
   The teen, thinking that was rather easy and painless, says, "Well, now that I
think about it, I think I'll be needing two boxes of condoms."
   The pharmacist replies, "Well, okay."  (Gets another one)
   The teen, getting even bolder, then says, "Actually, its a pretty hot date I
have tonight.  I think I'll be needing four boxes of condoms."
   The teen keeps changing his mind and increasing the number of condoms he
wants until he's leaving the pharmacy with 20 boxes of condoms.
   Later that night, the teenager arrives at his girlfriend's house.  She tells
him that he's invited to stay for dinner.  So he goes in and sits down at the
table with all of her family.  The father asks if he'd like to say grace before
beginning the meal.
   The teen accepts and says the following, "Oh Lord, thank you for this food
and the hands that made it, and the people who took the time to grow it and...
(goes on for nearly 10 minutes, blessing *everything* including the table, the
silverware, all the containers, the floor, etc...) ...Amen.
   The girl turns to the teen and says, "Gee, I didn't know that you were really
religious."
   The teen whispers back, "Well, I didn't know that your dad was a pharmacist."

returns, to follow him.
   Sure enough, he comes into the store the next day, repeating his actions once
more. The assistant duly follows.  Half an hour later, he returns.

   A young lad starts work in a pharmacy.  The owner is explaining the rudiments

   "When a customer comes into the shop, be very polite to them and try to put a
little poetry into it when you're talking to them."
   The youth says that he does not see what the pharmacist means by this, so the
pharmacist says that he should observe when the next customer comes in and watch
how he or she is dealt with.
   Presently a middle aged woman comes in to the shop and asks for something for
a tummy bug.
   The pharmacist says, "There's a lot of that virus going about, but this pink
mixture should sort you out!"
   "Oh thank you very much!" says the middle aged woman and she leaves the shop.
   So the pharmacist says the youth can serve the next customer while he goes to
tea break, "And remember to put some poetry into it" he says.
   Anyway, the youth waits around and nobody comes in, so he decides to go to
the restroom.  Just as he's about to nip off, a young teenage girl comes in.
   "Can I help you?" he asks.  She replies very embarrassedly that she would
like to buy some sanitary towels, to which the youth replies :

progressive rehabilitation methods. They begin by visiting some of the patients.
The first patient they visit is a young woman.  She is practicing ballet.
   One of the psychiatrist asks, "What are you doing?"
   She replies, "I'm studying ballet so when I get out of here I can possibly
join a troupe and be a productive member of society."
   "Wow, that's wonderful."
   The next person was a man reading a book with a pile of books next to him. 
The same question asked to him, "What are you doing?"
   "I'm studying biology, chemistry, etc.  So I can enter medical school when I
get out."
   Room after room, they witnessed the incredible success and attitudes of the
patients.  Until they finally reached a room the asylums director was reluctant
to open.  Finally, he was persuaded to open it.  Inside was a man balancing a
peanut on his penis.
   The psychiatrist exclaimed, "My God what are you doing?"
   The man replied, "I'm fucking nuts and I'm never getting out of here."

   A man walked into a psychiatrist's office, sat down, took out a pack of
cigarettes.  He removed a cigarette from the pack, unrolled it, and stuffed the
tobacco up his nose.

   The guy said, "Yeah Doc.  Got a match!?"

A man walks into the psychiatrists office with a pancake on his head, fried eggs

my brother."

A man who thinks he's George Washington has been seeing a psychiatrist.  He
finishes up one session by telling him, "Tomorrow, we'll cross the Delaware and
surprise them when they least expect it." As soon as he's gone, the psychiatrist
picks up the phone and says, "King George, this is Benedict Arnold.  I have the
plans."

   A Man walks into a bar, and orders a beer.  He drinks the beer, than stands

   The bar tender freaks out.  "You dirty disgusting pig!  How dare you come

   The man begins crying. "I'm sorry!  Its ruining my life.  I can't sleep.  I
do it every time I have a drink!  It's worrying me to death, please don't hit

   The bar tender takes pity.  "Look, I have a brother who is a psychiatrist,
here's his card, why don't you see him?"
   The man hugs the bartender, shakes his hand and leaves with a thousand thank

   Six months later, the man walks into the bar, and orders a drink.
   The bartender says, "Okay, here you go...  Wait!  Weren't you that guy who.."
   "Yes, And I went and saw your brother.  He is fantastic, I am completely
cured."
   "Well, that's great.  This beer is on the house"
   So the man drinks the beer, stands on the bar, drops his trousers and pisses
on the bar.

   "I am!  It doesn't bother me anymore..."

   NPR did a story about how people with mental disabilities of various sorts
are being rehabilitated at Lotus.  They brought manufacturing of software
packages in house and staffed it, with the help of the Greater Boston
Rehabilitation Services, with people having, among other things, schizophrenia,
bipolar disorder, and severe learning disabilities (those with severe mental
illness were recovering).  It sounded like a good program, helping a lot of
people who previously couldn't work or who lost their jobs because of illness
get back on their feet.
   They did quote the woman from GBRS as saying that one of her jobs was to make
sure people with compatible problems worked together.  It's not a good idea to
place a person who hears voices next to a person who mumbles.

street people who mumbled to themselves so they'd look like they were having

Not A True Story, But What If ...

   A psychiatrist visited a California mental institution and asked a patient,
"How did you get here?  What was the nature of your illness?"  He got this
reply...
   "Well, it all started when I got married and I guess I should never have done
it.  I got hitched to a widow with a grown daughter who then became my
stepdaughter.  My daddy came to visit us, fell in love with my lovely
stepdaughter, then married her.  And so my stepdaughter was now my stepmother.
Soon, my wife had a son who was, of course, my daddy's brother-in-law since he
is the half-brother of my stepdaughter, who is now, of course, my daddy's wife.
So, as I told you, when my stepdaughter married my daddy, she was at once my
stepmother!  Now, since my new son is brother to my stepmother, he also became
my uncle.  As you know, my wife is my step-grandmother since she is my
stepmother's mother.  Don't forget that my stepmother is my stepdaughter.
Remember, too, that I am my wife's grandson.  But hold on just a few minutes
more.  You see, since I'm married to my step-grandmother, I am not only the
wife's grandson and her hubby, but I am also my own grandfather.  Now can you
understand how I got put in this place?"

   The man snapped to attention in surprise and was uncomfortably aware that

how soon he could sneak out the door.

she said, "I'm terribly sorry to have embarrassed you, but I am a psychologist

This month, the 'Nose' magazine provides a participatory exercise in the
mass-marketing of neurosis.  In a slightly different take on self-help books and
daily meditations, here are a few aphorisms listed in the 'Daily Denegration':

   I am no more significant than the person sitting next to me on the bus.
   When I feel empowered, I try to remember that someday I too will grow old and
die.
   Today, I will rejoice in my own existence by being curt and surly.
   Addictive behaviour provides me with a sense of permanence; each cigarette
represents another segment on the karmic wheel.

From the "The New Mexican", Santa Fe, NM, newspaper, Monday 3/6/95 Mark Oswald,
staff writer, reporting in his column, Capitol Chronicle, on the current
two-month New Mexico legislative session.

During discussion by the Senate of a serious piece of legislation concerning the
psychology profession last week, Sen. Duncan Scott, R-Albuquerque, proposed an
amendment. It says:

   "When a psychologist or psychiatrist testifies during a defendant's
competency hearing, the psychologist or psychiatrist shall wear a cone-shaped
hat that is not less than 2 feet tall.  The surface of the hat shall be
imprinted with stars and lightning bolts.
   Additionally, a psychologist or psychiatrist shall be required to don a white
beard that is not less than 18 inches in length, and shall punctuate crucial
elements of his testimony by stabbing the air with a wand.  Whenever a
psychologist or psychiatrist provides expert testimony regarding the defendant's
competency, the bailiff shall contemporaneously dim the courtroom lights and
administer two strikes to a Chinese gong."

Usually, anything proposed by Scott, whose hard-core conservatism is like cod
liver oil for the Senate's Democratic majority, goes nowhere.  But his wizard-
hat amendment was warmly received and passed by a voice vote.  It is now part of
Sen. Richard Romero's psychologist bill, as the measure moves to the House.

   An elderly couple went into a doctor.  They told the doctor, "We're having
some trouble with our sex life.  Could you watch and offer some suggestions?"
   The doctor replied, "I'm not a sex therapist.  You should find someone else."
   The couple said, "No, No, we trust you."
   After watching them have sex, the doctor said, "You don't seem to be having
any troubles.  I wish my sex life was as good.  I can't give you any
suggestions."
   This was repeated the next week and also the third week.  After they had
finished on the third week, the doctor said, "You aren't having any trouble.  Is
this your idea of kinky sex?"
   The man replied, "No, actually the problem is that if we have sex at my
house, my wife will catch us.  If we have sex at her house, her husband will
catch us.  The motel charges us $50, and we can't afford that.  You only charge
$35, and Medicare pays half of that."

   An 83-year-old man married a vivacious 19-year-old college coed.  He was
quite content, but after a few weeks, she told him that she was going to leave
him if she didn't get some satisfying sex real soon.
   So the man went to a sex therapist who then gave him a very high-priced shot
of spermatozoa extracted from the rare Siberian road runner; the treatment cost
him $60,000.  "Now look," said the doctor.  "The only way you're going to get it
hard is to say 'beep', and then to get it soft again, you say 'beep beep'."
   "How marvelous!" the old man said.
   "Yes, but I must warn you," the doctor said, "it will only work three times
in your life and then the spermatozoa tire out and die.  And we don't have any
more of this spermatozoa extract.  The Siberian road runner has been extinct for
over a decade now."
   On his way home, the old man decided that he wasn't going to live through
three bouts of sex anyway, so he decided to waste one of the beeps to try it
out.
   "Beep!" he said.
   Immediately, his penis got hard and turned itself into a huge erection.
   Satisfied that it works, he then said, "Beep!  Beep!", and his penis got soft
again.  The old man chuckled with delight and anticipation.
   Having lost his attention to driving momentarily and veering into another
lane, a car next to him went "Beep!" and the car behind him also responded with
"Beep!  Beep!".
   Realizing that this noise used up his second erection, the man raced home and
ran into the house as fast as he could for his last great fuck.  "Honey!" he
shouted at his young wife.  "Don't ask any questions.  Just drop your clothes
and hop into bed."
   The old man nervously undressed and hollered "Beep!" which instantly gave him
a large ten-inch erection.
   Caught up in his excitement, she stripped off all her clothes and jumped on
the bed smiling with delight as she eyed his swollen member.  Then just as he
was mounting her and starting to put it in the tender young wife, she said,
"Alright!  Now we're really smokin'!!!  But what's all this 'beep beep' shit?"

   An older couple were having trouble with their sex life, so the wife went to
a sex therapist and was advised to try sexercises.  He gave the wife a list of
them to do each day.
   Later that night as the couple were getting ready for bed, the husband went
to take a shower and the wife thought she'd try out her sexercises.  She got
undressed and rolled back on her shoulders and placed her feet on the headboard.
   About that time, her husband came out of the bathroom and looked over at the
bed and said, "For god's sake, Maevis, comb your hair and put your teeth back

   A woman walks into her sex therapist's office and tells her that her husband
is not a very good lover, and they never have sex anymore, and asks what to do
about it.  The therapist tells her that she has an experimental drug that might
do the trick.  She tells the woman to give her husband one pill that night and
come back in the morning and tell her what happened.
   The next day, the woman comes in ecstatic telling the therapist that the pill
worked and she and her husband had the best sex ever.  She asks her therapist
what would happen if she gave her husband two pills and the therapist says she
doesn't know, but to go ahead and try it.
   The next day, the same thing happens, the woman comes in telling the
therapist that the sex was even better than the night before and what would
happen if she gave him five pills.  The therapist says she doesn't know, but to
go ahead and try it.
   The next day, the woman comes in limp but happy, and tells the therapist that
the sex just keeps getting better and what would happen if she gave her husband
the rest of the bottle.  The therapist says she doesn't know; it's an
experimental drug and she doesn't know what a full bottle could do to a person.
Anyway, the woman leaves the therapist's office and put the rest of the bottle
of pills in the husband's morning coffee.
   A week later, a boy walks into the therapist's office and says: "Are you the
dumb fuck who gave my mother a bottle of experimental pills?"
   "Why, yes, young man, I did.  Why?"
   "Well, mom's dead, my sister's pregnant, my ass hurts, and dad's sittin' in

   This guy took his nymphomaniac wife to the sex therapist for treatment.
"This is one hot potato of a lady, doctor," he said, "Maybe you can do something
for her?  She goes for any man, any age, any time, any where...and it is just
driving me crazy with jealousy."
   "We'll see," the therapist said.  He directed the wife into his examining
room, closed the door behind her, and told her to get undressed.  Then he told
her to get up onto the examining table on her stomach.
   The moment he touched her buttocks, she began to squirm and moan.  It was too
much for him to resist, so he climbed up on top of her and began screwing her.
   The husband suddenly hears the moans and groans coming from the examination
room.  Very suspicious, he bursts into the room and is confronted by the sight
of the doctor astride his wife and banging away.
   "Doctor, what are you doing?!?" he asked.
   Flustered, the therapist replied, "Oh, it's you!  I'm only taking your wife's
temperature!"
   The husband pulled out a large pocket knife and began to hone it deliberately
on his sleeve.  "Well, doc," he said, "when you take that thing out, it better
have numbers on it!"

Take these twice a day and they'll allow you to fuck your wife six time a day.
If you do this for thirty days, you'll finally screw her to death.  And the
autopsy will just show that she died of heart failure during sex."
   "Wonderful, doc," said the grateful patient.  "I'll start with this right
away."
   He left with the bottle of pills and a smile on his face.
   Nearly a month passed.  One day, while on a medical convention, the doctor
passed by the patient coming down the sidewalk in a wheelchair, just barely
managing to move forward.
   "What happened?" asked the doctor.  "What happened to your wife?"

M.B.A.s had the highest score in a preliminary sexual-satisfaction index
compiled by Jennifer Knopf, a sex therapist at Northwestern University; Ph.D.s,
in contrast, had the lowest score.  Lawyers and doctors were in the middle.  The
80 married couples surveyed received points based on sexual problems, how
satisfying their sex life was, how often they desired intercourse, and how often
they had it.

   "But I am worried, doctor," insisted the woman, "and so is my daughter's

   A young couple left the sex therapist's office determined to develop more
effective body language.
   "Alright," said the husband, "when I want sex, I'll rub your right breast.
When I don't want sex, I'll rub your left breast."
   "Okay," said the wife, "What should I do then?"
   "Well, when you want to have sex," he told her, "rub my penis once.  When
you don't want any sex, rub it 200 times."

   A sex therapist was doing research at the local college when one of the male
volunteers told him, "When I get it in part way, my vision blurs.  And when I
get it all the way in, I can't see a thing."
   "Hmmm...that's an interesting optical reaction to sex," said the researcher.
"Would you mind if I had a look at it?"
   So the volunteer stuck out his tongue.

   The couple visited a sex clinic to complain that their sex life had become a
bore.
   Each night, the man would arrive home.  His wife would prepare supper.  After
supper, they'd watch two hours of television. Immediately afterwards, they would
go to bed.  From that point on, every move was routine.
   "No wonder," the sex therapist said. "You've mad sex monotonous.  Stop living
on a schedule. Get into sex whenever you feel like it.  Don't wait until bedtime
each night to do it.  Do it whenever you get into the mood."
   The couple agreed to try the advice.  They returned the following week.
   "How did things work out?" the sex therapist asked.
   The man and his wife were beaming.  "It worked!  It worked great!!!"
   "Tell me about it," said the therapist.
   "Well, two nights after we saw you last, we were eating supper when I noticed
that although it was only seven o'clock, I had this huge erection that was
unstoppable.  Sweetie pie here was staring at it with longing eyes.  So I didn't
wait for any shower or any news broadcast.  Instead, I reached out, ripped off
her blouse and bra.  Then I tore off her panties.  I flung her right onto the
table, spilling all the wine and soup in the process.  Then I unzipped my fly
and pulled out my cock and we began to screw.  Man, we fucked and fucked like we
never fucked before!!"
   "That's wonderful!!" said the sex therapist.  "I told you it would work if
you did it when the spirit moved you!"
   "Only one thing," said the man a little sadly. "They're not ever going to let
us come back to the restaurant at The Ritz Hotel any longer."

A well known rich businessman's wife broke her hip.  The businessman got the
best bone surgeon in town to do the operation.  The operation consisted of
lining up the broken hip and putting in a screw to secure it.  The operation
went fine, and the doctor sent the business man a fee for his services of $5000.
The businessman was outraged at the cost, and sent the doctor a letter demanding
an itemized list of the costs.  The doctor sent back a list with two things:

1 screw                   $   1
Knowing how to put it in  $4999
                          $5000 total

   An American, an Englishman and a Japanese fellow were discussing their
respective countries over drink at a London pub one evening.  The English fellow
mentioned how that British medicine had progressed so far that doctors recently
had taken a single liver and cut it into six pieces then transplanted it into
six separate men in need of a healthy liver.  This had resulted in six new
workers in the job market.
   At this, the Japanese guy said that in his country doctors had cut a lung
into twelve pieces, transplanted these into twelve people in need of healthy
lungs, thereby putting twelve new people in the job market.
   Not to be outdone, the American said, "That's nothing.  In the U. S., we took
one asshole, made it President, and now there are 10 million people in the
market for a job!"

   After the microsurgeons congress in New York, the leading surgeons sat in a
bar and drank some beer.  When they got loaded, they began bragging about their
greatest triumphs.
   The first surgeon, an Australian, told, "We once had a guy that had been
squashed in a press in a printing works house last year. The only thing that was
left was the left little finger. Our team of surgeons managed to construct a new
hand, they built a new arm and a new body, so that when he finally went back to
work, he became so efficient that he made five people unemployed.
   That's nothing, said an American surgeon.  We had a worker that got stuck in
a nuclear reactor.  The only thing that was left was the hair.  We made a new
head, a new body and new organs, and then we sent him back to the working life.
He got so efficient that he made 50 people unemployed.
   The Swedish surgeon didn't want to be any worse so he said, "One day, when I
was out walking I felt the smell of a fart.  I put the fart in a bag and carried
it to the hospital, let it out on the table and started working.  First we
wrapped the fart in an asshole, built a new ass and attached a body to it.
Finally, it became a man named Carl Bildt (Swedish prime minister) and he's
making a whole fucking country unemployed.

   Doctors at King's College Hospital in London reported that Baby, a two year
old collie-Doberman, was apparently responsible for detecting a malignant tumor
on her owner's thigh.  She ignored moles and other marks on the body but spent
several minutes each day sniffing the tumor, attempting twice to bite it off.
After several weeks, the owner finally sought medical advice.

reported that, of two groups that entered a San Francisco hospital with equally
bad heart problems, the group that enjoyed prayer support from others had fewer

   An young man, on his first visit to a big city decides to go visit the local
whorehouse.  A little while later he starts to feel sick.  He goes to see a
doctor of internal medicine.  The doctor examines him and says, "Well son, I
don't know how to tell you this, but you've got a bad case of syphilis,
gonorrhea, and about 12 other things I can't spell.  I'm afraid I'm going to
have to give you this medicine.  It'll make you get better but it'll also cause
your penis to shrivel up and disappear.  It's going to cost you $1000."
   This doesn't make our friend very happy so he goes and sees a surgeon.  The
surgeon examines him and says, "Sorry, but it looks like a nice mix of syphilis,
gonorrhea, and a few other things to boot.  Afraid I'm going to have to cut your
dick off and charge you $2000."
   By this time the guy is desperate so he goes to see a doctor of holistic
medicine.  The doctor examines him and comes to essentially the same conclusion
as the other doctors: an advanced case of V. D.  However, his approach to the
problem is designed to save the patient unnecessary expense, trauma, and worry:
"Look, just go home and eat lots of good food, get plenty of rest, and gets lots
of sunshine and fresh air.  Wait about two weeks and your dick will fall off all
by itself."

   It is recounted that at King's College in the Strand around the time of the
war, the Chief of Services would inevitably begin the year's rounds by teaching
"a singularly important principle of medicine."  He asked a nurse to fetch him a
sample of urine.  He then talked at length about diabetes mellitus.  "Diabetes,"
he said, "is a greek name; but the Romans noticed that the bees like the urine
of diabetics, so they added the word mellitus which means sweet as honey.  Well,
as you know, you may find sugar in the urine of a diabetic..."
   By now, the nurse had returned with a sample of urine which the registrar
promptly held up like a trophy.  We stared at that straw colored fluid as if we
had never seen such a thing before.  The registrar then startled us.  He dipped
a finger boldly into the urine, then licked his finger with the tip of his
tongue.  As if tasting wine, he opened and closed his lips rapidly.  Could he
perhaps detect a faint taste of sugar?  The sample was passed on to us for an
opinion.  We all dipped a finger into the fluid, all of us foolishly licked that
finger.
   "Now," said the Registrar grinning, "you have learned the first principle of
diagnosis.  I mean the power of observation."
   We were baffled.  We stood near the sluice room outside the ward, and in the
distance, some anonymous patient was explosively coughing.
   "You see," the registrar said continuing triumphantly, "I dipped my MIDDLE
finger into the urine, but licked my INDEX finger, not like all you chaps."

   A young woman was in the hospital, recovering from major surgery.  She hated
being stuck in the tiny little room all day and to make matters worse, the daily
routine was starting to get to her.  Every morning, for example, the nurse would
bring her breakfast (which always consisted of an egg, piece of toast, and glass
of apple juice).  She would then return a little bit later to empty the urine
bottle.  And so it continued...
   Finally, one morning, she decided to have a little fun.  She ate the eggs and
the toast, but went to the bathroom where she cleaned the urine bottle out, then
poured the apple juice into it.  When the nurse returned later that morning, he
took a look at the bottle and a frown came over his face.
   "Obviously, you enjoyed your breakfast, but something must be wrong because
this looks a little cloudy," he said, pointing to the urine bottle.
   "Oh, really?" she replied, picking up the bottle in question and putting it
to her lips.  "In that case, we'd better run it through again..."

Tiny Bug In H. S. "Genome" Causes Massive Humanity Failure

   Officials responsible for a spiral galaxy near the middle section of the
universe revealed today that a small error in an encoding for the life form
"Homo sapiens" was responsible for the near extinction of the partly intelligent
species.  The change had been introduced during routine maintenance of the life
form.  Officials explained that the maintenance had been intended to improve the
survivability of the species, but inadequate testing had caused it to become
susceptible to a new sexually transmitted disease.
   Senior universe officials expressed disappointment in the control of the life
forms in the galaxy, citing a series of malfunctions, especially near a yellow
star at the edge.  The H. S. Species has required several patches in the field
and still seems unstable.  The latest change was not tested in alternative
universes due to lax controls and lack of funding.
   Other officials cited inadequate specification and design review.  "How can
we guarantee that the species works without a formal definition of what it is?"
lamented one senior observer.  "These things just look like collections of cells
- they just sort of grow.  There's no mathematical model that can be used to
verify it.  I don't see how they ever got it started in the first place."
   Insiders feel that the species can be rescued, but expressed doubt about its
long-term viability.  The estimate of the time needed for a thorough review of
the documentation, writing the formal specifications, and verifying the genome
encoding, expressibility, and environmental testing, is greater than the
lifetime of the universe.
   Meanwhile, yet another mutation and alteration of the local laws of physics
will be required to back out of this particular upgrade.  With funding already
stretched, this setback might just spell the end of H. S.
   The formally verified Vulcan species, originally slated for production next
year, has been delayed due to a series of technical problems and is now
scheduled for beta testing after the next big bang.

From "News Of The Weird":

Reuters News Service reported in December,1993 that a 72-year-old retired
gardener in England was credited with self-diagnosis of a tear in his bladder.
The man diagnosed his condition by urinating into a plant pot; eventually a
tomato plant sprouted.  Doctors said that this indicated a leakage - in this
case, of microscopic tomato seeds - between his bowel and his bladder.  Doctors
said growing urine cultures is the ordinary way of detecting such a tear but
that this was the first self-diagnosis they had heard of.

In a report in the August,1993 "Archives of Dermatology", a 39-year-old woman in
Cleveland complaining of bad hair was reported to have the first adult case of
"acquired uncombable hair," which produces permanently coarse, tangled hair.
Her condition was attributed to a side effect of a diuretic.
