After my first day of work of the new year, I kind of felt tired and saw a bleak future ahead of me but that&#8217;s not any different than most Mondays at work. I went to the gym and it was one of the workouts where I get DFL but Sean beat me to the finish, or whatever you do when you get beat by someone who comes in after you, but I&#8217;m never upset by getting DFL or close to DFL in that workout. I found out one of the guys I know at the gym is an M.D., which reminded me of how I failed to get into medical school, but he was a doctor with a sense of humor and even told me some doctor jokes.<\/p>\n<p>So basically, nothing really good happened, but nothing bad happened either.<\/p>\n<p>I tell doctor jokes and it pisses off humorless doctors.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Q: How do you hide a dollar from an orthopod?<\/li>\n<li>A: Hide it in a book.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Q: How do you hide a dollar from a radiologist? (The doctor with the sense of humor is a radiologist.)<\/li>\n<li>A: Pin it to the patient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Q: How do you hide a dollar from a plastic surgeon?<\/li>\n<li>A: You can&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He told me a joke I can&#8217;t really repeat because it&#8217;s obscene and makes fun of anesthesiologists, who are usually my people, i.e. Asians. Oh, and when he told me he&#8217;s a radiologist, I said, &#8220;Funny, you don&#8217;t look Asian,&#8221; and he got it.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it with some of my bad jokes. I&#8217;m an old man. I&#8217;m entitled to tell bad jokes.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, I won an eBay auction today. It&#8217;s for a butt-set with tone dialling, something I&#8217;ve wanted but really have limited use for.
