Quick Jokes
As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I work, I ask the patients if they are allergic to anything. If they are, I print it on an allergy band placed on the patient's wrists.
Once when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies, she said she couldn't eat bananas. Imagine my surprise when several hours later a very irate son came out to the nurses' station demanding, "Who's responsible for labeling my mother 'bananas'?"

"My wife finally convinced me to sign something called a 'living will'. This is a document which, in the event I find myself attached to a mechancial device, gives my wife the right to terminate my life.

One Sunday, our minister told the story of how Mary and Joseph left Jesus behind at the temple. My husband, Bob, wondered, "How could a parent forget his child?" That question was answered as soon as Bob and I arrived home in separate cars. We realized neither one of us had brought our 11-year-old daughter home.
