The All Too Typical Visit to the Doctor

Buford walked into a doctor's office, and the receptionist asked him what he had. Buford said, "Shingles." So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number, and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Buford what he had. Buford said, "Shingles." So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history, and told Buford to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Buford what he had. Buford said, "Shingles." So the nurse gave Buford a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Buford to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and asked Buford what he had. Buford said, "Shingles."
The doctor asked, "Where?"
Buford replied, "Outside on the truck. Where do you want them?"

Last post on this subject before I go away:

Another poem by sir_cumference

Ode to my APAP Machine

Shall I compare thee to .. a vacuum cleaner in reverse?
Or maybe a robber as you’ve emptied my purse?
Sitting there burbling strapped to my nose,
Wheezing and hissing all so I can does
Tubing and headbands and silicon and gel,
Washing it out to make sure it don’t smell
Worrying about pressures, apnoeas, hypops
If I’ve set you so high will you blow off my socks?
All so I can sleep and rest in the night
Not swizzle and turn with my pillow hard fight!
To wake up refreshed like when I was younger
Not shattered half-dead round the kitchen to blunder.
And as you’re there waiting and watching me breathe
Are you laughing at me as for romance I grieve?
But now I’m awake I will put you away
To get on with my life for the rest of the day.

Do you see Sir Cumference's hidden talents emerging? Not only is he a stand-up comedian, but he's a poet, too! Multi-talented (and sweet). What a guy!!!!

A man walks into a bar with a Respironics CPAP set to 10 and the bartender looks up -- Stop breathing if you've heard this one...

It's 4PM and this terrible joke finally got me out of my foul mood and laughing. Thank you!

OK, a man walks into a bar with a 420E set to 6/11 and says ...

Why wouldn’t the hose-head cross the road?

Because he didn’t like to work under pressure!

What’s the difference between a CPAP machine and a teacher?

One puts you under pressure to sleep; the other puts you under pressure to stay awake!

There was a hosehead from Nantucket

Who tried comfort curve and said "chuck it"

His leaks were a bear

His air hardly there

Till his nose fell upon

the Nasal Aire prong

And he loved it :

Terry,

Did you make these up? If so, great job. I literally laughed out loud on the first one. More, please?
