You said what? Comedy is needed.

Note: The above picture shows the parts in the brain that are involved in laughter (emotion in general)....you may now proceed to read.

While talking with Mom today, we agreed that we needed some laughter. So with that in mind, I thought it would be a good time to post a few funny things I've heard and read recently. I need a break from studying to unfry my brain as I call it, and I know that reflecting on these funny (and a few scary things) might be just the thing I need to make me laugh in what has been a downer of a day with a hint of some possible good news.

So, without further ado.....these are quotes....

Funny or rather Scary #1 This one is in regards to what my BIO instructor said when talking about a scalpel. A student in the class who is majoring in surgical tech said, "Did you say scaffold?" Now, the person that I am immediately thought, "Are you serious?....This person can't be serious! What in the world does a scaffold have to do with an anatomy & physiology class?" This person was serious....very serious. The student then proceeded to ask the instructor what the difference was between a scalpel and a scaffold. I decided I want this student no where near my operating table should I ever have the need for surgery. I seriously doubt we will have to identify a scaffold in our A&P practical exam coming up next week! Imagine bringing that bad boy into an anatomy lab. Hmm.

Funny or Scary #2 While I was quietly studying before class and waiting for the instructor to arrive, I overheard a conversation between two of the students. We only have 5 students left in the class so obviously it's not that hard to overhear a discussion. A different student than mentioned in funny#1 was talking with the person mentioned in funny#1 (this person is also majoring as a surgical tech) stated, "I don't even understand why we have to have biology!" In my opinion, this one is just as scary as funny#1. Let's talk about a likely scenario. If this student becomes a surgical tech and is given instructions to prep a person's femur for surgery but instead preps a person's humerus...this is NOT ..I repeat...NOT good and NOT funny either (an inside A&P joke..you might get it?!)! This makes my head hurt.

Funny #3 occurred while I was reading something last night which states, "Got instant relief within 1 day and all pain gone within 2 days." Obviously this person does not understand the definition of instant. So very comical!

Funny #4 This is a joke I received in an email from a person I love very much....

Subject: Lipstick in Catholic School

Should have this in our School more often YOU KNOW......

According to a news report, a certain private

Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of

12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the

bathroom. That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone,

but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the

mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the maintenance man

would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally

the principal, Sister Mary, decided that something had to be done. She

called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance

man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem

for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just

imagine the yawns from the little princesses).

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, Sister Mary asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers.....

And then there are educators. THE END.

While I have digressed from my usual posts...this was needed so I can't offer an apology. I might need to refer back to this when I need a comedy break in the future. Maybe some of you will enjoy this as much as I did.
