Day Brightener – The Gynecologist Who Became A Mechanic

Doctor Image

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO
paperwork and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.

He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes,
attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time of the
practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks
and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%.

Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying, “I don’t want to appear
ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error
in the grade?”

“The instructor said, “During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly,
which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together
again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark.”

After a pause, the instructor added, “I gave you an extra 50% because you
did it all through the muffler, which I’ve never seen done in my entire
career”.

Day Brightener – Sometimes You Just Don’t Know?

I spent last evening in the emergency room.  I got bored at home after golf, so I decided to take off and go horseback riding.  Something I haven’t done in a while…. maybe never.  It turned out to be a big mistake.  I got on the horse and started out slowly, but then went a little faster and before I knew it, I was going as fast as the horse could go.  I couldn’t take the pace and fell off but caught my foot in the stirrup with the horse still going full speed.  It just wouldn’t stop.

Thankfully the manager at Walmart came out and unplugged the machine.  He actually had the nerve to take the rest of my change so I wouldn’t attempt to ride the elephant.

Hope you’re not too bored, 😉🐎🐘

Day Brightener – Shut-In Thoughts

  – I’m having a quarantine party this weekend! None of you are invited.

 – We are just two to three weeks away from learning everyone’s real hair color.

 – All these people are worrying about a baby boom in the next nine months. Two days of homeschooling should nip that right in the bud!

 – All I can think about now when I’m watching any TV show or movie is how everyone is standing WAY too close together.

– I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I’m cracking a safe!

 – The Department of Health is looking to hire couples married seven years or more to educate people on social distancing.

 – Quarantine Day 16. I’ve started taking calls from telemarketers. Some of them are actually quite nice. Jamar from Superior Life Insurance has a new baby.

 – Grocery shopping has become a real life version of Pac-Man. Avoid everyone, get the fruit, and take 

 – So we don’t go to restaurants, kids aren’t signed up for anything, and we just stayed home for Spring Break? Sounds like my childhood.

 – This is like being 16 again. Gas is cheap and I’m grounded. Geez.

 – My wife and I play this fun game during quarantine. It’s called, “Why Are You Doing It That Way? “There are no winners.

 – When we come out of this and I ask you where you want to eat, I do NOT want to hear, “I don’t know.” …YOU HAD 45 DAYS!

 – Can’t wait until this is over so I can go back to social distancing on my own terms.

 – Just bought six pounds of cheese. Won’t need toilet paper now.

> – My car probably thinks I died.

 – It’s been a blessing being home with the wife for three weeks now. We’ve caught up on everything I’ve done wrong for 15 years.

 – If your parents are over 60 and want to go out … FORBID THEM! If they complain and say, “But everyone else is doing it”, tell them, “You’re not everyone.” IT’S PAYBACK TIME!

 – Hormel Foods made their first batch of SPAM in 1937. With everyone out shopping and hoarding food, they have announced they will be making their second batch later this week.

 – If you believe that the Yankees will be playing in two weeks, raise your right hand. Now slap yourself with it.

 – Due to my isolation, I finished three books yesterday. And believe me, that’s a lot of coloring!

– Anyone else getting a tan from the light in your refrigerator?

Day Brightener – Some Golf Wisdom

  • Don’t buy a putter until you’ve had a chance to throw it.
  • Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing.
  • When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either use one more club or two more balls.
  • If you’re afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.
  • The less skilled the player, the more likely he or she is to share his ideas about the golf swing.
  • No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.
  • The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors.
  • A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent’s luck.
  • It is surprisingly easy to hole a 30 foot putt…for a 10.
  • Counting on your opponent to inform you when he or she breaks a rule is like expecting them to make fun of their own haircut.
  • Non-chalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
  • It’s not a gimme if you’re still away.
  • The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the centre of a very large tree.
  • You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time.
  • If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.
  • Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.
  • When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.
  • Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he or she must subsequently make two double bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.
  • There are two things you can learn by stopping your back-swing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.
  • Hazards attract; fairways repel.
  • A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.
  • If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint
  • It’s easier to get up at 6:00 a.m. to play golf than at 10:00 a.m. to mow the grass.
  • A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.
  • Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you spend longer praying than you would do in church.
  • A good golf partner is one who’s always slightly worse than you are….that’s why you get so many calls to play with your friends.
  • If there’s a storm rolling in, you’ll be having the game of your life.
  • Golf balls are like eggs. They’re white. They’re sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each week.
  • It’s amazing how a golfer who never helps out around the house will replace his divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps.
  • If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he or she shot a six or a seven, they probably shot an eight (or worse).
  • It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you  don’t get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, and eat hot dogs while performing brain surgery!
