Doctor’s Assistant
A doctor in Ireland wants to get off work and go hunting, so he approaches his assistant. “Seamus, I am going hunting tomorrow and don’t want to close the clinic,” he says. “I want you to take care of the clinic and all me patients.”
“Yes, sir!” answers Seamus.
The doctor goes hunting, returns the following day and asks, “So, Seamus, how was your day?”
Seamus tells him that he took care of three patients. “The first one had a headache, so I gave him Tylenol.”
“Bravo, Seamus, and the second one?” asks the doctor.
“The second one had stomach burning and I gave him Maalox, sir,” says Seamus.
“Bravo, bravo! You’re good at this. And what about the third one?” asks the doctor.
“Sir, I was sitting here and suddenly the door opens and a woman bursts into the room. Quick as a wink she undresses herself, tearing off every stitch of clothing including her bra and her panties, and lies down on the table. She spreads her legs and shouts, “Help me, I beg you! It’s been five years since I’ve seen a man!”
“Thunderin’ Lord Jesus, Seamus, what did you do?” asks the doctor.
“I put drops in her eyes.” |
Brother Alan and wife Gloria have been vacationing in Colorado for the past week or so. I got an email from them (I should have gotten it yesterday but my spam filter caught it!) and it sounds like they are having a good time. They spent some time visiting with our Aunt Marlene & Uncle Gene and their family in the Boulder area. They crossed the Divide in Rocky Mtn. Nat. Park where Alan says there is still lots of snow. They went over the Old Fall River road on the fifth and it was the first day open. They plan to spend some time in the Ouray area ... soaking in the hot springs, taking a jeep tour of the San Juan mountains and the train ride from Durango to Silverton. All great fun things to do! They will likely need a couple days to recuperate from the vacation when they get home.
I also want to note that Gloria’s birthday was last Thursday and I forgot her on the calendar. That has been corrected with my apologies! I’m really slipping here lately! |

| I just returned home from the DMV. I passed the written test for my motorcycle license. Now all I have to do is practice enough to pass the driving test and I can scooter too! I’m glad TJ took the test before me because she gave me the book answers (as opposed to the real ones). There is more than one question where their answer has little to do with riding a motorcycle. |
