Funny things

An email I received the other day:
There are more Catholic churches than casinos in Las Vegas. Many people drop casino chips into the collection basket instead of cash. The churches ship these tokens to a group of Franciscans who sort them and turn them into cash which is returned to the various churches. This work of course, is all done by the chip monks.

Kathy and her sister on the phone the other night:
They were in their respective homes watching the National Spelling Bee. As the tension mounted in the contest, the sisters began calling each other on the phone, back and forth, answering by spelling “H-i!” or “H-e-l-l-o!” and questioning each other, “Language of origin?” or “Use it in a sentence.” They cracked each other up.

An alum came into the office to see me last week. He was out of work and wanted some help finding his next job. He had only been in his last position for six months. I asked him what had happened, and he demurred, saying he didn’t want to bad mouth his former employer. I said, that’s a good idea, but you have to tell me, so I can help you handle the inevitable interview question, “Why did you leave your last job?” Oh, ok, he said. So he actually told me that when his supervisor told him that he would have to come in at 7:45am now instead of 8:30am, he said, oh, that’s too early. No, the supervisor insisted, you have to come in earlier now. “In that case,” the alum said, “I resign.” He went on to say something about how he wanted to balance his life. I wondered how he was going to balance his check book now.

From the Medical Blooper calendar:

“When coming in for a routine office visit, a patient brought in her two year old daughter along. The child had been very inquisitive while the nurse took the patient’s vitals. The nurse asked the child if she would like to help take her mother’s temperature. The little girl walked over to her mother and said, ‘OK, Mommy, bend over!”
