Curing a Cough

The owner of a drugstore arrives at work to find a man leaning heavily against a wall. The owner goes inside and asks his clerk what's up.

- He wanted something for his cough, but I couldn't find the cough syrup - the clerk explains:

- So I gave him a laxative and told him to take it all at once.

- Laxatives won't cure a cough, you idiot - the owner shouts angrily.

- Sure it will - the clerk says, pointing at the man leaning on the wall:

- Look at him. He's afraid to cough.

Dentist Visit

The Smiths were shown into the dentist's office, where Mr. Smith made it clear he was in a big hurry.

- No fancy stuff, Doctor - he ordered:

- No gas or needles or any of that stuff. Just pull the tooth and get it over with.

- I wish more of my patients were as stoic as you - said the dentist admiringly:

- Now, which tooth is it?

Mr. Smith turned to his wife..

- Show him, honey.

Medical Advancement

A British doctor says:

- Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another man, and have him looking for work in six weeks.

A German doctor says:

- That's nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another man, and have him looking for work in four weeks.

A Russian doctor says:

- In my country, medicine is so advanced we take half a heart out of one person, put it in another man, and have both of them looking for work in two weeks.

The American doctor, not to be outdone, says:

- You guys are way behind us. We just took a man with no brain out of Texas, put him in the White House, and now half the country is looking for work.

Emergency Doctor Visit

A woman rushes to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out. She rattles off, "Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin was all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes were blood-shot and bugging out, and I had this corpse-like look on my face! What's wrong with me, Doctor?" The doctor looks her over for a couple of minutes, then calmly says, "Well, I can tell you one thing... there ain't nothing wrong with your eyesight."

Colonoscopy Comments

  3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
  4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
  5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."
  6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
  7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out. You do the Hokey Pokey...."
  8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
  9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must acquit!"
  10. "Hey, Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
  11. "Could you write me a note for my wife, saying that my head is not, in fact, up there?"

First Aid Course

It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in the middle of a busy intersection. Traffic quickly piled up in all directions, so a woman rushed to help him. When she knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from the crowd, pushed her aside, and said, "It's all right honey, I've had a course in first aid." The woman stood up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse and prepared to administer artificial respiration. At this point she tapped him on the shoulder and said, "When you get to the part about calling a doctor, I'm already here."
