Winding down..
Well, as the weekend approaches, it is customary to breathe a sigh of relief, stretch and say TGIF. I am actually on call tonight, so I probably won’t be hitting the road. But, nevertheless, I am not on call tomorrow, so as long as things remain reasonably quiet, I have no complaints.
Now, I think I have to mention that Sunshine and Scratchie have added some refreshing ‘new blood’ to the local blogging crew. Scratch is a member of the old rude bwoy posse from George’s so we expect nutten but greatness from him. BTW, Sunshine, did you go to high school in Jamdown? If so which one?
Anyhow, since I’m linking up bredrin’s blogs, let me tell you about the Angry Dog. Seems the mongrel has become a bit thrilled by the vistas of fall in his corner of the blogdom. I suggest you go over to his kennel and have a look at the photos. Dem nice man.
Indeed, we really don’t have the stark changes in season that folks who live ‘up so’ experience. But, the climate does change subtly here as well. We are now out of the rainy season that went by in August-September. In the last week or so, the temperature in the nights has been nice and cool…a drastic change from the sweltering heat we were having in the summer. Soon the red poinsettias and the white euphobia (not sure if is so it spell) that causes asthmatics and people with ’sinus’ to flare up, will start to bloom and herald the Christmas season. Nice. Anyway, as I’m trying to wind the work week down, I have another likkle rude bwoy joke to share. I guess it is too early to buss it over a VX, but if anything, you can have a virtual one on me for now! 
A Doctor gave orders to his Nurse, she was to place the patient who just had gallbaldder surgery on bed two ward four. Nursey got the orders mixed up and placed the patient on bed four, ward two. Doc became livid as the treatment orders got mixed up and the post surgical patient developed complications.
Later in the week, a lady was admitted in pain for which the cause was not immediately apparent. The Doc ordered nurse to give the lady two pain killing tablets at 12. Unfortunately nurse got her wires crossed again, she gave the lady 12 tablets at two. She died as a result of an overdose! Again, the doctor was not happy to say the least.
The next day a man was admitted with an infected wound on his penis. The doctor ordered that nurse was to boil the water used to dress the patient’s penis to prevent any further infection. Later in the day while on the ward, Doc saw nurse running behind the poor old man with a pail of boiling water attempting to boil his penis! 
The Doc looked at nurse and asks her why in the world did she think that he would give orders to her to boil a patient’s penis? At the same time, in walks the grumpy old Matron for the hospital. She overhears what the Doc just said and says to him, “Well Doc, with all due respect, perhaps Nurse thought that his penis was so hard that it needed to be boiled in order to become softer!” 
I hope you liked it. Again, that one was shared over liquor and it did good at the time. BTW, this was not by any means intended to diss nurses. Those of you who know me realise that I have a great respect for our nurses who do a hell of a lot for very little. Have a good Friday and weekend. 
October 29th, 2004 at 9:47 am I’m howling!!! Loved that joke. Yes, I went to St. Andrews and graduated in 1975. Man, you seem to be always on call. Anyway, hope you have an uneventful tomorrow-workwise. Have a good weekend!!
October 29th, 2004 at 10:25 am Well, I won’t lie, me never rate that one… Maybe because I read it sober… A so it go though, you can never win them all…

October 29th, 2004 at 2:09 pm …I thought the punch line was going to be “I told you to prick his boil not boil his p…” …but maybe I’m an old man :^)…
October 29th, 2004 at 2:42 pm Doc, thank God you decided to pursue a career in medicine as opposed to one in comedy, cause dat one never funny a rass…no matter how many drinks you buy me! As a matter of fact, when we link in December, buy me a couple drinks and get me as drunk as possible and tell me the joke, if I don’t laugh, buy me some more drinks, and try again. Keep repeating the process until I laugh
October 29th, 2004 at 5:25 pm BTW Sunshine, my daughter is currently attending your alma mater.
October 29th, 2004 at 7:10 pm OK, so most of onoo never rate the joke. TOUGH! At least Sunshine never diss it. Strangely, all of you just focussed on the joke and never said nutten else ’bout the rest of the post. Blogging can be a bitch sometimes.
October 30th, 2004 at 12:59 am Doc - take a look! All of the people who didn’t like your joke were male - does the image of boiling penises have anything to do with that? I thought it was funny still!
October 30th, 2004 at 9:56 am I remember the red poinsettas. Our uncle used to have lots of them growing around his house in Jacks Hill.
October 30th, 2004 at 10:44 am Indeed Seven….and I don’t think it is a case of Freudian penis envy…as they all have one. Perhaps just the natural protective instinct that all men have of the family jewels I suppose.
November 1st, 2004 at 8:23 am Seven-I also noticed that none of the males appreciated the joke. Scratchie-how interesting that your daughter is attending the same high school as I did. Things must be so different from when I was there in 1975.
