How Old Am I?

A man decided to have a face lift for his birthday. He spends
$5,000 and feels really great about the result.

On his way home he stops at a news stand and buys a paper.
Before leaving he says to the sales clerk, “I hope you don’t
mind me asking, but how old do you think I am?” “About 35,” was
the reply. “I’m actually 47,” the man says, feeling really happy.

After that he goes into McDonalds for lunch, and asks the order
taker the same question, to which the reply is, “Oh you look
about 29″. “I am actually 47!” This makes him feel really good.

While standing at the bus stop he asks an old woman the same
question. She replies, “I am 85 years old and my eyesight is
going. But when I was young there was a sure way of telling a
mans age. If I put my hand down your pants for ten minutes I
will be able to tell your exact age.”

As there was no one around, the man thought what the hell and
let her slip her hand down his pants.

Ten minutes later the old lady says, “OK, it’s done. You are 47.”

Stunned the man says, “That was brilliant! How did you do that?”

The old lady replies, “I was in line behind you at McDonalds.”

Poison Control

I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control centre. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants.

I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants.

I told her that she better bring her daughter in to the ER right away.

My daughter’s a good girl!

A mother took her daughter to the doctor and asked him to give her an examination to determine the cause of the daughter’s swollen abdomen.

It only took the doctor about 2 seconds to say, “Gimme a break, lady! Your daughter is pregnant!”

The mother turn red with fury, and she argued with the doctor that *her* daughter was a good girl, and would *never* compromise her reputation by having sex with a boy.

The doctor faced the window and silently watched the horizon.

The mother became enraged and screamed, “Quit looking out the window! Aren’t you paying attention to me?”

“Yes, of course I am paying attention, ma’am. It’s just that the last time this happened, a star appeared in the east, and three wise men came.

I was hoping they’d show up again, and help me figure out who got your daughter pregnant!”

Knee Pains

A woman goes to the doctor complaining of bad knee pains. After the
diagnostic tests showed nothing, the doctor questions her, “There must be something you’re doing that you haven’t told me. Can you think of anything that might be doing this to your knees?”

“Well,” she said a little sheepishly, “my husband and I have sex doggy-style on the floor every night.”

“That’s got to be it,” said the doctor. “There are plenty of other positions and ways to have sex, you know.”

“Not if you’re going to watch T.V. there ain’t,” she replied.
