Test Results

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a difficult four hour long surgical procedure. A young student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath."Nurse", he mumbles from behind the mask. "Are my testicles black?"Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, are my testicles black?"Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his p**nis in one hand and his testicles in the other, lifting and moving them around. Then, she takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir!!"The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but now listen very, very closely.....
"A r e-- m y--- t e s t--- r e s u l t s--- b a c k?"

Ha Ha

While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip.
When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly had left her glasses on the table and, she didn't miss them until they had been driving about twenty minutes.By then, to add to the aggravation, they had travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.
All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up on her for one minute.To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. And, as the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glass!
The old geezer yelled to her......."While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card!"

Hi! How is your new year going? Isn't the weather unbelievable!
We went to a neighbour's yesterday to cut some firewood and Raymond was in his vest and I had to take my coat off because I got too warm - and it was the fifth day of January. Somewhere in the future we will be paying for this nice weather, so will enjoy it while it is here. Raymond is outside splitting the wood we got yesterday and my job is to stack it. Certainly getting my exercise
