Nurses One-Liners, Jokes, Humor & Pithy Comments — (from eGrumps) — April 17, 2010
Saturday, April 17th, 2010When I was in the hospital I had a day nurse and a night nurse. In the afternoon I rested. “EGrumps, you are full of it. You’re really bad. I can’t get the Nurse’s Agency to send you any more nurses. I was told that your performance is so bad, you would flunk Sex 1, actually they said you’d probably already flunked the introductory course. You’re giving manhood a bad name.” (Mrs. eGrumps)
A practical nurse is one who marries a rich patient.
I once had a very good nurse. When she took my blood pressure, she deducted 20 points for cleavage.
Nurse to eGrumps in hospital: “I can only please one patient per day. Today isn’t your day. Tomorrow’s not looking good either.”
Top Reasons to Become a Nurse (from www.nursingfun.com – thanks)
Pays better then fast food, though the hours aren’t as good.

Reassure your patients that all bleeding stops…eventually.
Expose yourself to rare, exciting and new diseases.
Interesting aromas.
Courteous and infallible doctors who always leave clear orders in perfectly legible handwriting.
Celebrate all the holidays with your friends at work.
Take comfort that most of your patients survive no matter what you do to them.
EGrumps to all the nurses that have taken care of me in sickness and health. When I was in good health, the transformation to sickness was almost painless, and I survived – so far. When I was in poor health, I survived – so far. So who needed you? Thanks anyhow, Ladies.

Census Problems (Still) – from eGrumps – March 22, 2010
Monday, March 22nd, 2010Dear Mr. and/or Mrs. Census Director:
On March 18, 2010 (If you have lost my earlier letter, please scroll down) I posted about a problem with your letter (of March 2010) demanding that I sign and send in my census form immediately, despite the fact the form relates to events occurring on April 1, 2010. I expected some clarification, but alas, you have not had the common courtesy to respond.
My comment about you being qualified as Director of Obamacare seems to have been quite accurate.
Now, however, the problem has been compounded. The Dept. of Census has put out TV commercials (not too entertaining, I must say) telling me to send in my census form right away. Same problem – it was March 21 that the commercials appeared, and the info requested is for April 1. I am still not able to predict the future with any degree of accuracy. I could guess, but that would probably be illegal, and I am too old to go to jail.
Please – IMMEDIATELY tell me what to do. This situation is quite stressful, as you can imagine. You could be liable under tort law for the deliberate infliction of mental suffering. I may sue.
eGrumps
P.S. I suggest you not pay for the commercials, or if you have paid, get your money back – with interest. As a taxpayer, your conduct really tees me off .
P.P.S. Is there no end to your incompetence? One would think you work for the government. Oops – you do work for the government. Maybe that explains it, but certainly doesn’t excuse your conduct in this matter. It is very serious to advise fellow American citizens (and aliens as well) to break the law. Actually, if aliens break the law, perhaps you can immediately deport them. Ask A. G. Holder – he’d probably agree unless they are working for ACORN in voter registration drives, in which case A. G. Holder might leave them here until after the 2010 elections.

A few of life’s immortal questions (well, maybe not so immortal).
