… is the best medicine. If it is true that losing your sense of humour is the earliest sign of burn-out, then I am greatly encouraged by how much I am laughing out loud this morning.

First this (from my regular correspondent 🙂

A gynaecologist had become so fed up with malpractice insurance and NHS paperwork he was burned out.

Hoping to try another career where skilful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.

He went to the local technical college, signed up for classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.

When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynaecologist 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. This equalled an A.”

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

Then this.

And: I dare you to do better.

And finally, the cutest ass you have ever seen.

Onwards and up em!
