Medical Pun



I don’t find medical puns funny anymore since I started suffering from an irony deficiency.

I thought it wise to see the doctor. Morning happened on me pretty fast. I showered, brushed up, dressed up and hit the road. Jugging.

When I got to the hospital, I noticed there was a sign on the lawn at the drug rehab building that said ‘Keep off the Grass.'

I chuckled and stepped on the grasses. No smoke. No fire. Who effing cares?

Oh, I'm not here to get high. I feel down.

When I stepped in the doctor’s waiting room, there was this tiny lady, only about six inches tall. Although she was there before me, she let me see the doctor first. I suppose she just had to be a little patient. I don't know.

I went to the doctor and told him I felt run down. I jugged my way down here.

‘Why do you feel that?’ he asked.
‘Because,’ I replied, ‘I’ve got tire marks on my legs.'

'I'll get you some sleeping pills' 
He said, chuckled and tiptoed to the counter.

I wondered why. Perhaps he wouldn’t want to wake the sleeping pills.

'Here' He handed over some pills to me...

'Take this two times daily. The other one three times daily...and the other one two spoons once'

I nodded and went home.

A day later, I didn't feel any better. Those injections are just in vein.

Desperate to feel better, I took the three spoonfuls instead of two.

I felt dizzy. Walked into walls thrice. Stumbled over a few words too.

Then I dialed the doctor.
'Doctor, I’ve swallowed three spoons.’
Doctor: ‘Sit down and don’t stir.’

See why I don’t find medical puns funny anymore? 

I suffered from an irony deficiency.

Fiction | The Tripod Effect

THE TRIPOD EFFECT The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.  "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies"  "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

Celebrating the “father of modern African literature”: Chinua Achebe

Today I join Google to celebrate Chinua Achebe's 87th birthday. Chinua is the father of modern African literature who with literature has touched many lives. Chinua Achebe was one of the greatest African writers of his generation. On what would have been his 87th birthday if he was alive, Google is paying its respects to Chinua Achebe on its homepage. Go to Google.com to view the doddle. Unarguably, Achebe’s influence on African literature is inestimable. He’s widely known to be the “father of modern African literature” with novels which projected Nigerian and African culture globally at a time when much of the continent was freshly free from the chains of colonialism. Chinua Achebe passed away March 2013 in the United States of America at the age of 82. The literary icon's journey to literary greatness started with ' Things Fall Apart ', which was his first book. It was released nearly 60 years ago in 1958 and regarded as one of the most widely read books in Africa.  ...
