| Posted over 5 years ago The nurse hands a newly delivered baby to the mom, the mom looks at the baby, concerned on the appearance of the baby she calls the nurse and asks "what's wrong with my baby?" The nurse says, "Nothing is wrong with your baby, but your baby is a little different... Your baby is a hermaphrodite." The mom asks; "what is a hermaphrodite?" The nurse replies, well dear that means that your baby has male and female features." The mother, without missing a beat turns to the nurse and says; "oh my gawd, you mean the baby has a penis and a brain?" |

| Posted over 5 years ago daddyofsadn: alot of these are in The Adult Only Joke Book . Here's one from Nurses calender 2008 (I'm not sure if this one's true-it sounds alittle far-fetched) Nicolae, a 43-year 0ld Russian father of five, decided to take the problem of birth control into his own hands. When the condom his wife bought was too large, he had a brilliant idea: why not just superglue the condom onto his penis? Unfortunately, after their activities, he could not remove the condom. In a panic, he rushed to the local clinic for help. He told a nurse that he thought the condom could be used several times and wanted it stuck to his penis so he could re-use it later. According to the nurse "We barely managed to remove it". |

| Posted over 5 years ago This is really not funny-but one of those truth is stranger than fiction stories. When I was working in a hospital (not the ER-but the story traveled fast) a man came into the ER with an infected penis. He told the nurse he had tried to "circumcise" himself because his girlfriend preferred it that way and he didn't have the money for an operation. Get this! He used what he had at hand- a rusty piece of barbed wire! OUCH!!!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago Here's one that shows truth IS stranger than fiction :September 2003-Florida.A young man came in to the emergency dept.in Tampa complaining of scrotal pain.The male nurse who examined him saw that his scrotum had swollen to the size of a basketball, hanging down to his mid-thigh. The nurse asked the young man how this had happened. After much hesitation, he finally confided that attempted to make his scrotum appear larger to impress his girlfriend, who had remarked that he did not have "big balls" like her former boyfriend. He bought a kit online and injected 500cc of normal saline into his scrotum with an IV needle. This caused a severe case of cellulitis, which required large doses of IV antibiotics and a 3 day hospital stay. The doctor told him that the swelling had put tremendous pressure on his testes and he might be sterile because of it. |

| Posted over 5 years ago When I first become an LPN I worked in the ER. A young couple came in. He had poison ivy around his penis. His girlfriend had poison ivy around her mouth. They swore up and down they were on a picnic and did not know how this happened. Trying to keep a straight face, one nurse asked "now what was it you ate again?" |

| Posted over 5 years ago YES! and you're not going to believe this one. I work as a recovery nurse for a gastroenterology group. One of my patients had a large tattoo on his leg that I couldn't quite make out. He was still groggy from the procedure and was very loud and obnoxious. I asked him about the tattoo and immediately wished I hadn't. He proceeded to tell me the story in a loud voice. (the doctor had to come out of the procedure room and ask him to be quiet) He had a large colorful bird on his lower leg from his knee to his ankle with a rope around it's neck. Get this! He had this tattoo so he could tell people "his cock hung below his knee". He said he would go into bars and make bets with people and then show them his tattoo. What an idiot! |

| Posted over 5 years ago Had a trauma come into the OR one day and as we were cutting off his pants, I happened to notice this huge tattoo of what I thought was a pig on his thigh.........Well it turned out to be two pigs, copulating with Makin O' the Bacon written over top. This same person also had this arrow tattooed in his pubic area, which he shaved, pointing south, with EAT ME written down the middle of the arrow shaft. I know this because I cathed him. A few years later, I was scrubbed, setting up my back sterile table, when I turned around and saw our patient, who came in for a breast augmentation. All I saw were colorful flowers, vines, etc. I was wondering if they were going to make her take off her blouse...........turns out, she was tattooed to the point, she looked like she was wearing a hawaiian type blouse. |

| Posted over 5 years ago This is from a Nurses Calendar so supposedly it is true. It goes: When I worked urological surgy it wasn't uncommon for the anesthesiologist to change the patient's anesthesia before surgery. . This particular time we prepared the patient for surgery, placing his feet in the stirrups. The male scrub tech lifted the sheet, then nudged me. I turned to look and almost fainted. The man's entire penis was tattooed. We had to bite our lips to kee pquiet becuse the patient was alert. Just then, the doctor walked in, thinking we had a sedated patient. When he sees the tattoo, he exclaims"**** I hope he was drunk". You should have seen the doctor jump when the patient said" Yeah, but it still hurt like hell". |

| Posted over 5 years ago An unconscious 30-year-old man was brought to the ER by ambulance. His girlfriend had found him lying naked on the floor of his bathroom and called 911. In the ER, he was found to have a large lump on the top of his head and, strangely, several scratches on his scrotum. The doctors figured the lump was possibly caused by a fall or a knock to the head. However the source of the scratches remained a mystery until he woke up and provided the doctors with the following explanation. He said he had been cleaning his bathtub while naked, kneeling on the floor beside the tub. His cat, apparently transfixed by the rhythmic swaying of his scrotum, lunged forward, sinking its claws into this pendulous target. This caused the man to rocket upward, striking his head on the top frame of the shower door. Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming "Woo-hoo"!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago Or how about either of these for "stranger than fiction"... (the first not so funny, but makes you say "wow" all the same). A 63 year old widow was admitted to the hospital in Recife, Brazil, suffering abdominal pains. X-rays showed that she was carrying a 20 inch long skeleton of a fetus which she conceived a decade earlier. It had become lodged outside the womb and was never expelled from her body. A couple hobbled into a Washington State emergency room covered in bloody restaurant towels. The man had his hands around his abdomen and the woman had hers around her head. They eventually explained to doctors that they had gone out that evening for a romantic dinner. Overcome with passion, the woman crept under the table to administer oral sex to the man. While in the act, she had an epileptic fit, which caused her to clamp down on the man's penis and wrench it from side to side. In agony and desperation, the man grabbed a fork and stabbed her in the head until she let go. Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming "Woo-hoo"!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago ...and just one more...funny! A Californian doctor examining a young woman with abdominal pains asked her if she was sexually active. She said that she wasn't. A later examination showed that she was pregnant. Asked why she said that she was not sexually active, the woman replied "I'm not, I just lie there." When asked if she knew who the father was, with a puzzled look she replied, "No. Who? " Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming "Woo-hoo"!!! |
