answering a silly question

[toysoldier]

I've been getting therapy for trochanteric bursitis. Each time I enter, I'm asked the same questions---fever, travel, exposure to someone who has...yada, yada, yada. Thursday, I entered the facility and approached the front desk. The receptionist held up the remote thermometer and asked "Any changes since last time?"

"My underwear" I replied. Cracked up both receptionists and two patients in the waiting room.

Good job.

Best intentions from the sound of it, but focusing on only one thing.

The most appropriate meme I've seen lately, was a pic of a car that had been involved in a front end collision. A person was stuck through the windshield, lying on the hood, & was a bloody mess.

The news bimbo had a microphone stuck in the victims face & was asking him how he caught the corona virus.

Yeah, I make wise cracks in response to silly/stupid questions or comments often. Sometimes it doesn't fly well while other times it brings a snicker.

Like the time we had a rush job to wire up an X-ray machine in a doctors office early one morning. As we were hauling our tools and material out through the waiting room the doctor asks the lead wireman "Is it working?" Sense we only knew it fired up but not how to use it his response was "I think so." The doctor stated indignantly "You think so??" That is when the lead wireman responded "If it doesn't work, take two aspirin and call me in the morning." At which time the waiting room roared with laughter.

I'm ALWAYS trying to make wise cracks in general. I enjoy laughing,,, and getting others to laugh. Off the wall comments,, not always what folks expect,, are ways to get folks to not always be so serious.
In fact,, it's a favorite saying of mine; "If I'm laughing, cracking jokes, or picking on you,, all is good. If I'm quiet, or sullen,, watch out,, because things are NOT good."

"Laughter; The best medicine!"

Great response. Timing is everything. I come up with all kinds of great funny responses. About 2 hours too late. Lol.

I envy those who are quicker.

I have to visit my pulmonary doc tomorrow. I just know that I am going to be asked the same questions. I AM going to use that reply when asked. Thank for posting.
