"Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My church...

It was the sciatic nerve, lower back. Having never been to hospital before, I wasn't particularly concerned. The surgeons name is Stephen Lewis and he's a bloody nice bloke. Liked him straightaway, as he has a good firm handshake. Just to ensure he did a good job, prior to the op; I sent him a "Bob the Bui...

He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine." ------------------------------ ------ A blond man spies a letter lyin...

A golfer was involved in a terrible car crash and was rushed to the hospital. Just before he was put under, the surgeon popped in to see him. "I have some good news and some bad news," says the surgeon. "The bad news is that I have to remove your right arm!" "Oh God no!" cries the man. "My golfing is over! Plea...
