Hello everyone!

Sorry, no funnies to share, but I did make this recent observation:  The most laughing I've heard in a long time on a work site was between the health workers where I was having an AN removed.  Even in ICU, the mood was light despite what was happening around them.  Cudos to them for being human.


Cheers!

Ken,

As a nurse, I can assure you that there's usually a lot of laughter going on after the anaesthesia kicks in too!  Gotta do something to stay sane when you're stuck in room with no windows with the same people for hours at a time! 

Kay, I'm afraid we might get arrested in the middle of Walmart!  You'd be head butting people's butts while Julie was lying on the floor looking under the clothes racks - Jan would be doing Buddy the Elf impressions.  Good thing Julie's mom would be there to wipe the smiles off our faces!

One of the reasons I visit this forum regularly is the humor.
