A case study:
Steve comes to his doctor's office with neurological symptoms.
The doctor takes a piece of dust and drops it on the floor. Steve doesn't react.
The doctor then spills some of his coffee on the floor. Steve doesn't react.
The doctor then asks the patient to go into the restroom, where he lifts the toilet seat. He then asks Steve to come back to his office.
Steve asks, "Doctor, why are you doing these things?"
The doctor says, "every single day, my wife tells me this is how I test her nerves."
This was a joke I wrote for my medical colleagues a few years ago. 😊
My wife says that shopping calms her nerves. "It's an impulse," she says!
Why did the husband carry his wife over the threshold?
Because he wanted to make a good first impression on his furniture!😄😅😆
Every month or two, I try to throw a couple Xanax in my gas tank...I wanna make sure my car doesn't have a nervous breakdown!
Ooh, this is a good one. 😁
Bob had his hand chopped off in a workplace accident, and brought the remains of it with him to the hospital. The neurosurgeon offered to try to salvage his hand: "We'd have to reconnect absolutely all of the tissue in the hand, including muscle, fascia, blood vessels, nerve, and skin. We have to examine whether it's even possible to reconnect all of these parts. There's no guarantee that this will work, and it's a risky procedure, but you have to decide right now while the tissue is still alive."
Bob agreed to try it out. The neurosurgeon rushed Bob into the operating room and placed him under a live CT scan to examine where to reconnect the tissues. After carefully looking at the remains of Bob's hand, the neurosurgeon said, "I'm sorry Bob. After careful examination of your hand, it turns out I just don't have the nerve to do this."
Now that's a shaggy dog story! (my favorite kind of joke)
A shaggy dog story that ended with a bit of pun-demonium! (I apologize for that travesty)
Now that I know your favorite kind of joke, of which I have dozens, I have no reason to be nervous about winning. OK, I'm done for now, I promise.
Dr. Klutzenschtein, a renowned neurosurgeon who has a predilection for being clumsy outside of his surgeries, is about to perform a decompression surgery for Mr. Rabblerouser's carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compressed nerve within the hand which causes pain and tingling, and decompression would release the trapped nerve, relieving the pain.
Casually leaning on Mr. Rabblerouser's bed, Dr. Klutzenschtein asks him, "So, how are you doing Mr. Rabblerouser? Are you ready for the surgery?"
With an angry expression, Mr. Rabblerouser states "I'm irritated!"
"Why?" asks the doctor.
"Your elbow is on my hand and it's getting on my nerves!"
@tikki00taffi thank you kindly for your vote. 😊
Tagging you here to let you know that I just edited this joke for better phrasing. I've found this happens quite frequently when I write them!
All Good! Great joke!
