A Joke

Date June 19, 2008

An elderly man told me this joke yesterday.  These things help get you through the day.

There was a man whose father gave him some advice: “Just put gunpowder in your oatmeal and eat it every day and you will live to be a ripe old age.”

So the man did what his father said, eating oatmeal and gunpowder, and he did in fact live very long.  He finally died at the age of 102, leaving behind him 6 children, 22 grand children, and 50 great-grand children.

And a crater where the crematorium used to be.

    My favorite joke (and I don’t know why):
    A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says: “Hey, we have a drink named after you!” The grasshopper says: “You have a drink named Steve?”

    A man walks into a bar, and sees a bear in the corner, drinking a Coke.

    He goes over to the barkeep and says “It’s a bit unusual that isn’t it; a bear drinking Coke?”

    The barkeep replies “Yes. He usually orders a lager!”

Welcome to my blog. I am a practicing primary care physician in the Southeastern US, caring for patients of all ages (Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics). This blog covers a wide variety of issues, including the following: What it is like to be a physician, dogs driving cars, what troubles are in our system, toddlers with flame-throwers, what would it take to fix that system, llamas, death and dying issues, mutants, and accordions. Maybe I need to write about mutant dying accordions with flame-throwers. Hmmm....I feel a post coming. Anyhow, I like variety. Life is always lived with both laughter and tears. If you are a regular reader of this blog, it is also filled with nausea and nightmares. Thanks for stopping by. -Dr. Rob
