BETWEEN THE LINES

Every writer dreams of doing this.

It's comforting to know that nothing has changed in Tech Support, since the middle ages. 


 

 

 I promise, this is the last one for today.  Thanks erdnase2000for helping me waste so much time!  :)

Sometimes your supervisor gives you work like this. 

I realize that humor is subjective. Some of you might find this funny, some not so much. I couldn't help but laugh, esp. at the end. Maybe this says something about my idea of humor. Now you know a little more about me.

I googled my full name including my middle initial and found that I'm also a gynocologist.  Check out some of the reviews this guy with the same exact name as me got

 
He's got to be my favourite gynae! and my hubby's.

... what can I say? He's number 1 in my books when it comes to gynaes. It isn't bad that he's rather distinguished looking too... definite eye candy, in my opinion.
First met him when I was looking for a gynae who was willing to do a vaginal breech .....

This ain't his first rodeo, ya know! Truth is, he's never been to one.

 

In literary terms, tragedy.
I'm more of a happy endings fan.  But this is kinda funny.

Humor.  It is a difficult concept.

So my son who is only 6 has been trying to get the knack of telling jokes.  He's pretty creative, but often misses the mark.  One of his teachers gave him a joke book as a present and that's helped him a bit.

One day he says to me, "Dad, why did the banana go to the hospital?"
"Why?"
"Because he wasn't peeling well."

Cute.

When he was younger, before he could read, we used to read him the classic Dick and Jane books.  Because he's such a parrot, we decided to change the character's name to Rick.  Hence, Rick and Jane.  Soon enough he learned to read, but we never realized just how well until one morning he comes into our bedroom (we're still asleep) and has a "Rick and Jane" book with him.  He sits on the sofa, puts the book down and starts to say "Rick and Jane...."  a pause.  "HEY!"

We cracked up.  The gig was up.  We'd been discovered lying to our son.  Sure enough, he said the word/name "Dick" too many times that day until the novelty wore off.

Kids....

And all this time, I thought it was a phrase to answer, "where's Paul?"

This isn't new, but I got a good laugh.

Not sure when this will come in handy, but I know erdnase2000 and I need to practice this for the first time we meet in carbon-space.
