Hot Dog JOW #1340

Every year at about this time I do a set of jokes related to the Dog Days of Summer.  I know these brutally hot days are named after Sirius not canines, but it gives me a reason for jokes about Man’s Best Friend.

Doesn’t matter what you call it. It can’t come.

 

My rescue dog has no legs, so I named her cigarette

...and every night we go out for a drag.

 

I named my dog “5 miles” so I could say “I walked 5 miles”

But today, I ran over 5 miles

A blind man had to shoot his dog...

To this day, he still misses him

 

I'll never forget my dog's last words to me.

"You've taken too much acid."

 

A married lady goes to her doctor for her annual checkup, and everything is good. In her conversation at the end of all the tests and examinations with the doctor she expressed a concern about her husband.
"As you know I raise champion golden retrievers and one evening I was making their food. I had a big pot on the stove simmering and my husband came home and got big a ladle full and ate it. I told him it was for the dogs, but he said it was delicious and insisted that is what he wanted for dinner that night. Well, I make the dogs food every week and every time I make a new batch my husband eats it for dinner. I'm concerned about him eating the dog’s food."
The doctor proceeded to ask her what was in the dog's food and how it was prepared. After she describes in detail the ingredients and the preparation the doctor finally says "I don't think there is anything that can hurt him. I wouldn't encourage him to eat it but it sounds safe enough to eat.
A year goes by and the woman goes back to the doctor for her annual checkup. As was standard procedure the doctor sits down with the woman and discusses the test results. As he is going through her file he sees a note from the previous year regarding her husband's propensity to eat the dog food made by her. He asks her " So is your husband still eating the dog food you prepare?"
"Oh, no doctor, my husband died"
Oh, my lord I'm so sorry. It wasn't because of the dog food was it?
Well, not directly, no.
Not directly? What happened?
"Well", the lady said in a very sad and grief-stricken voice, " he got hit by a car when he was sitting in the middle of the road licking his balls."

 

A dog lover, whose dog was a female and in heat, agreed to look after her neighbors’ male dog while the neighbors were on vacation.
She had a large house and believed that she could keep the two dogs apart.
However, as she was drifting off to sleep she heard awful howling and moaning sounds.
She rushed downstairs and found the dogs locked together in obvious pain and unable to disengage, as so frequently happens when dogs mate.
Unable to separate them, and perplexed as to what to do next, although it was late, she called the vet, who answered in a very grumpy voice.
After she explained the problem to him, the vet said,
"Hang up the phone and place it down alongside the dogs."
"I will then call you back and the noise of the ringing will make the male lose all interest in sex."
"Do you think that will work?" she asked.
"It just worked for me," he replied.

Sick, sick JOW #1339

The word ‘sick’ has taken on a new meaning lately.  Instead of meaning unwell or twisted it can now mean really cool and awesome…. You know, like me.  Since medicine has been on my mind this week I have some really 'sick] new jokes.  I hope they bring you some amusement.

 

As soon as the hospital made me put on one of those little gowns…

I knew the end was in sight.

 

At the hospital where I checked in I noticed that apple pies cost $2, pumpkin pies $3 and blueberry pies $4.

Those are the pie-rates of the care-I-be-in.

 

That’s the difference between The Sahara and Jello?

One is an inhospitable desert and the other is an in hospital dessert.

 

Hospital food: where flavor goes to take a nap.

 

The best hospital meal is the one you sneak in yourself.

 

Where’s the worst place to hide in a hospital?

The ICU.

 

A man’s young son swallowed some coins and was taken to hospital.

When the dad asked how he was, the nurse said, “No change yet.”

 

Son: Mom, I’m in hospital but don’t worry everything is fine.

Mom: You’re a doctor now and this wasn’t funny the first time.

 

My pregnant wife called me at work and said, “Honey, I’m having contractions. I need you to drive to the hospital.”

I got there as soon as I could and called her back, “Right. I’m now at the hospital. What do you want me to do now?”

 

What’s the most common type of surgery performed at the Lego hospital?

Plastic surgery.

 

In college I dated an X-ray tech who I met after a short hospital stay.

To this day, I wonder what she saw in me.

 

The sign in the hospital parking garage said Patient Discharge.

That explained the stains next to it.

 

The police called to tell a man that his wife was in the hospital.

“How is she?” he asked.

“Very critical,” replied the officer.

“What’s she complaining about now?”

 

Two men are roommates in a hospital. Because they are both weak from sickness, the men are unable to speak.

Finally, one man says to the other, “American.”

His roommate replies, “Canadian.”

Another hour goes by and the first man says weakly, “Danny.”

The roommate can only reply, “Phil.”

Another hour passes and the first man mutters to his roommate, “Cancer.”

His roommate replies back, “Virgo.”

 

A man walks into a hospital, he says to the receptionist, “I have an appointment at 1:30.”

She replies, “Which doctor?”

The man says, “No thanks, just a regular doctor please.”

 

Who’s the coolest guy in the hospital when the ultrasound guy isn’t there?

The hip replacement guy.

 

Because of a clerical error at the hospital, they named both of our twin boys William.

They Billed us twice.

 

A man awoke in a hospital bed after a brutal accident.

He shouted, “Doctor, doctor, I can’t feel my legs!”

The doctor replied, “I know you can’t. I’ve amputated your arms.”

 

“Push harder,” I shouted at my wife while she was in labor.

“Screw you,” she yelled back at me.

A bit harsh I thought; it wasn’t my fault the car broke down on the way to hospital.

 

My wife told me she saw two EMTs walking over by the hospital.

“Two EMTs?” I asked her. “Don’t you mean a pair o’ medics?”

 

I accidentally drank from a jar of invisible ink.

I’m currently at the hospital waiting to be seen.

 

A Chinese doctor can’t find a job in a hospital in America, so he opens a clinic and puts a sign outside that reads "GET TREATMENT FOR $20 - IF NOT CURED GET BACK $100."

An American lawyer thinks this is a great opportunity to earn $100 and goes to the clinic.
Lawyer: "I have lost my sense of taste."
Chinese: "Nurse, bring medicine from box No. 14 and put 3 drops in patient's mouth."
Lawyer: "Ugh. this is kerosene."
Chinese: "Congrats, your sense of taste is restored. Give me my $20."
The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to try to recover his money.
Lawyer: "I have lost my memory. I can’t remember anything."
Chinese: "Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 14 and put 3 drops in his mouth."
Lawyer (annoyed): "This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste."
Chinese: "Congrats. You got your memory back. Give me $20."
The fuming lawyer pays him, then comes back a week later determined to get back $100.
Lawyer: "My eyesight has become very weak I cannot see at all."
Chinese: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this $100."
Lawyer (staring at the note): "But this is $20, not $100!”
Chinese: "Congrats, your eyesight is restored. Give me $20"

 

A sweet old lady telephoned the hospital.
She timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"
The operator said, "I can, what's the name and room number?"
The old lady in her weak voice said, "Doreen Jacobs, Room 604."
The operator replied, "Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse."
After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, "Oh, I have good news, her nurse just told me that Doreen is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal and her physician, Dr. Ross, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday."
The old lady said, "Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you!"
The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Doreen your daughter?"
The grandmother said, "No, I'm Doreen. No one tells me shit.”

And finally

A new doctor is being shown around a Scottish hospital

As they enter one ward, the nearest patient turns to him and says "Fair fa' your honest sonsie face, great chieftain o' the pudden race!"
Before the doctor can react, the patient in the next bed adds "Wee sleekit cowerin' timorous beastie! O what a panic's in thy breastie!"
And not to be outdone, the third patient responds "Some ha' meat and cannae eat, and some wad eat that want it!"
The doctor murmurs to the orderly "So this is the mental health ward?"
"Och no!" replies the orderly.
"...it's the Burns Unit!"

Operational JOW #1338

 As I have increased in age I find nomenclature is important.  For example, what is the difference between Seniors and the Elderly.  Seniors talk about their aches and pains.  The Elderly talk about their operations and procedures.  Even though I am a designated Operations Subspecialist, and have degrees and experience in operations, I don’t like to talk about them.  I will make jokes about them, however.

 

Worst surgery I have ever had?

Easy. My circumcision. I couldn’t walk for a year.

 

Going into surgery I asked the doctor how long am I going to be in the hospital??
He said, if all goes well, about three days... if it doesn't, about 30 minutes..

 

Remember when plastic surgery was a taboo

Now you mention Botox and no one rises an eyebrow

 

Right before surgery the surgeon says: "Relax, Jim. It's just a small scalpel incision. No reason to panic."

The patient replies: "But, Doctor, my name is not Jim." The surgeon says: "I know. I'm Jim."

 

I was really doubtful that the scoliosis surgery would work.

But now I stand corrected

 

What’s the worst thing to hear during open heart surgery?

Anything

 

What's the worst place for a classical singer to get surgery?

The opera-hating room!

 

Two different doctors worked together on my knee surgery

It was a joint operation

 

I had to pay hundreds of dollars for a stool sample test before I had my surgery.

That shit was expensive.

 

There is a DIY surgery kit

It’s called Suture Self.

 

Before the surgery, the anesthesiologist offered to knock me out with gas or a boat paddle...

It was an ether/oar situation.

 

A British man lost 100 pounds after an experimental surgery

He was mugged on the way home

 

There's a support group for people addicted to plastic surgery...

The head of the group walks in and says, "I'm seeing a lot of new faces this week, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed."

 

A pirate (let’s call him Mike) walks into a doctor's surgery.

"Avast, sawbones," he growls, "I wants ye to look at the moles on me back. I think they might be of the cancerin' kind."
The doctor has a look at the pirate's back.
"It's OK," he says, "they're benign."
"Arrr... look again," says the pirate, "I'm pretty sure there be ten."

 

After an Eye Surgery

Doctor: The Surgery was a complete Success
The Patient: I see.

 

Doctor: We need to replace your eye.  Normally we replace it with a glass ball, but for you we have one made out of cedar. Would you like that instead?
Patient: Wood eye? wood eye? Of course!

 

Doctor – Your X-rays were negative.

Blonde – But I never dated anybody named Ray.

Doctor – I think we need a full brain scan.

 

I think something went wrong during my laser eye surgery.

I can see just fine, but I can't figure out how to shoot the lasers

 

A man was having increasing problems with his vision and went to the eye doctor.  After a thorough examination the doctor took him by the elbow and guided the man in his office to discuss his eye condition.

The doctor asks if he wants the good news or bad news first.
The man excitedly replies, "I'll take the good news first."
The surgeon tells him, “Well, you're about to get a new special dog."

 

An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery. He insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son. 'Yes, Dad, what is it? '
'Don't be nervous, son; do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife.'

 

A woman has sued her hospital, saying that after her husband had surgery there, he lost all interest in sex.
A hospital spokesman replied: "Your husband was admitted for cataract surgery. All we did was correct his eyesight."

 

A man blind from birth hears about new surgery that can give him sight. He goes to the doctor who tells him he can do the surgery. He asks if being able to see will have any negative impacts on his life.
"Well," the doctor says. "You won't be able to maintain an erection."
"Is that a common side effect from the surgery," the blind man asks.
"No," says the doctor. "It's just that your wife is ugly."

A furious lady marches into the eye clinic's reception area and shouts at the receptionist, "Who stole my wig during my eye surgery yesterday?"

The doctor immediately rushes out to pacify her. "I assure you, no one on my team would do such a thing. What makes you think it was stolen?"
The woman replies, "Well, before the procedure, my wig was perfect, but when I woke up, it was a tangled mess that made me look ugly and cheap."
"I think," says the surgeon gently, "this means your cataract operation was a success."

 

A man went to the doctor about knee pain. They X-rayed him and the doctor basically said, “You have bad knees. You’ll need a knee replacement in your 50s or 60s”

The man asked if there was anything he could do to avoid it,

 “You could try dying young.”
And in the end….

We had one woman come to the doctor complaining about constipation. Going into her chart the doctor saw that she had been previously given some suppositories to take, and in the triage note she said her meds weren't working.
So the doc is asked her questions, making sure nothing else is wrong.   Finally, they get to the part about the meds.

She said "Well yeah, the pills I got last time were huge! I have to break them in half to swallow them!"

Cold, Cold JOW #1337

I just got back from a trip to Iceland.  That got me thinking about a cooler climate. If you wonder what the weather in Iceland is like, there was constant rane, hale, gails, drissle, thundre, litnin, hy tydes, and frizzing colde.

Just a really bad spell of weather.

Okay, actually the weather my trip was fine.  Somehow my jokes a cooler climate morphed into the battle between the sexes.  Enjoy

 

How did the hipster drown? 

He ice-skated before it was cool.

 

What does a cyclist ride in the winter 

An icicle.

 

I got hit in the face with a snowball, knocking me out cold.

 

Wanna hear an icebreaker?

Fat penguin

 

If you have ever been a cold drink on a hot day you may be entitled to condensation

 

When you live alone, the only thing that wakes you up faster than a cold toilet seat is a warm toilet seat

 

What's a horrible icebreaker?

The Titanic

 

Justice is best served cold.

Because if it were served warm, it would be just water.

 

My girlfriend asked me to get her a cold drink.

Apparently cough syrup wasn't what she was after.

 

Which got me into the topic of Men vs Women

Women want a lot of things from one Man.

Conversely, Men want one thing from a lot of Women.

 

When a man is quiet he is thinking

When a woman is quiet she is angry

 

Women say their number one fear of online dating is the guy will be a serial killer. Men say their number one fear is the woman will be fat.

 

A woman said to her boyfriend the other day, "Why did God give women periods with cramp pains, and men nothing?" 

He laughed and replied, "Don't be silly, he gave us women."

 

Two academicians were talking.

"Why is there a Women's Studies Major, but not a Men's Studies Major" 

"There is a Men's Studies major, it’s called history"

 

Did you hear about the team of mutant trans-women super-heroes? 

They're called "The Ex-Men".

 

Wearing a seat belt Men: /
Women: %

 

What do women call men under 6 feet tall? 

They don't call them at all.

 

It’s funny how men and women both want to make their chest look bigger and that they're both just one similar search away from doing so.

Men look for pull up bars and women search for push up bras.

 

Women are the foundation of our society, but men are the ones who laid the foundation,

 

What's the difference between swim wear for men and swim wear for women? 

Men's swimwear is designed for swimming.

 

No man has ever won a game of "Notice anything different about me?"

 

So many double standards between men and women nowadays.  When a women has sex with a lot of men, she get called a slut.  When a man does it he gets called gay

 

What do you call an Irishman who likes men and women? 

Birish.

 

It was the annual homecoming dance at the local high school gym. Most of the young folk were out on the dance floor but a few young men and women lined the sides of the gym, hoping for a dance partner to ask them out onto the dance floor. After waiting anxiously for quite a while, a rather awkward freshman finally got up the nerve to ask a very pretty senior girl for a dance at the homecoming.

She gave him the once-over and said, "Sorry, I won't dance with a child."

"Please forgive me," responded the underclassman. "I didn't realize you were pregnant."

And finally, a shaggy dog, or bee rather, joke.

A bumblebee suddenly wakes up in a cold sweat, realizing he has overslept and is about to miss his connecting flight home after a successful overseas business trip.

He makes a mad rush to the airport, suitcase in one hand, passport and airline ticket in the other. His tie flaps loose in the breeze, his shirt wrinkled and untucked, with his face covered in bushy bumblebee beard stubble.
He recklessly flies into the main entrance, nearly knocking over a family of four along the way. He pushes his way through the crowd, rushing to the front of the line.
Finally, at the counter, he cuts in front of an elderly woman holding a frequent flyer card, knocking her purse to the floor.
Struggling to catch his breath, he frantically shoves his ticket and passport towards the airline employee.

"I'm sorry sir" says the woman behind the counter in a stern tone. "But there's no way I can let you in like that!"
Impatient and frustrated, the bee exclaims loudly "AND JUST WHY NOT!? I need to make it to my meeting in the United States, and it starts in six and a half hours! I had to stay in a god-awful hotel because my connecting flight was cancelled last night, I'm not going to have time to stop home and see my wife and kids before I get into the office, and my career depends on closing this deal by today!"
"I understand sir, but-" the woman starts to explain before being cut off mid-sentence. "This is the international gate to the United States, is it not!?" the bumblebee demands.
"Yes sir, but-"
“And this is the line for the flight specifically for bumblebees, is it not!?" he yells, voice growing louder and more impatient.
"Yes sir, that's correct. But you-"
“Then tell me” He shouted, interrupting her once more. "Why will you not let me board my connecting flight already? Because there's something wrong with my passport or ticket!?"
"Sir!" She booms loudly, ensuring he can hear her over his own frantic words. "I cannot let you in because you flew in the door upside down!"
"I-uh..." he suddenly hesitates, speechless for the first time as he realizes his feet are dangling in the air, his head aiming towards the floor. "Oh... oh my God, I'm so sorry. Please, accept my apologies!"
His face blushed red with embarrassment, he quickly flips over and successfully connects into the U.S. bee port.
