As part of my on-going series of lighthearted blog posts, the following is a list of comments a physician claimed are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:
1. ‘Take it easy, Doc. You’re boldly going where no man has gone before!
2. ‘Find Amelia Earhart yet?’
3. ‘Can you hear me NOW?’
4. ‘Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?’
5. ‘You know, in Arkansas, we’re now legally married.’
6. ‘Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?’
7. ‘You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out…’
8. ‘Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!’
9. ‘If your hand doesn’t fit, you must quit!
10. ‘Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.’
11. ‘You used to be an executive at Enron, didn’t you?’
12. ‘God, now I know why I am not gay.’
And the best one of all.
13. ‘Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there.’
The point of these jokes is that we ALL have the opportunity to be witty, funny and make light of a situation without hurting anyone. I recently received a photo of a male friend with his daughter swimming with dolphins. He sent to all his friends and one remarked “Who’s the old guy in the photo?”
I replied – a PODOPHILE… Dolphins swim in PODS…. Get it?!?!
Life’s too short to be too serious – have fun playing with words, being witty, humorous – you’ll soon see what happens to your relationships. They’ll lighten up and you’ll soon realise EVERYONE is more enjoyable and fun to be around when they’re in a good mood.
You could reward your clients with a ‘best joke of the month award’… Blog about it…
A sMILE goes a long way…
