This is from Glenda Konopka, a dear professional friend.
Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous … A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by some of his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies :
1. “Take it easy, Doc. You’re boldly going where no man has gone before!
2. “Find Amelia Earhart yet?”
3. “Can you hear me NOW?”
4. “Are we there yet? Are we there … Read the rest...

Thanks to Glenda Konopka for this note of admonition.
Cyrus asks his programmer father:
Daddy, how was I born?
Dad says:

I woke up this morning and did what I usually do: made a fresh pot of coffee for my husband and myself. I sat down, read the newspaper, and waited for the coffee to finish brewing.

Glenda Konopka sent this expanded version of a tale that I remember from my misguided yoot.
Two doctors opened offices in a small town and put up a sign reading “Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology”. The town’s fathers were not too happy with that sign, so they changed it to “Hysterias and Posteriors”.
This was not acceptable either, so they changed the sign to “Schizoids and Hemorrhoids”. No go, so they tried “Catatonics and High Colonics”.

This is an original groaner by Glenda Konopka who says, “I swear on my children’s lives that I have never, ever done anything like this before, but this is a true story that happened last weekend while we were decorating the tree.”
Christmas was upon us once again and it was time to hang the ornaments on the tree. As anyone who has tackled this annual balance between engineering feat and artistic expression knows, the strategic placement of each ornament … Read the rest...

I received this Mary Poppins Variant from Glenda Konopka.
Mary Poppins was traveling home, but due to worsening weather, she decided to stop at a hotel for the night. She approached the receptionist and asked for a room for the night.
“Certainly madam,” he replied courteously.
“Is the restaurant open still?” inquired Mary.
“Sorry, no,” came the reply, “but room service is available all night.
Would you care to select something from this menu?”
Mary smiled and took the menu … Read the rest...
