-----My what a surprise ending. It's the last couple of words that
changes this story.
Thought you could use a good laugh ...
At the Sunday morning church service, the minister asked if anyone in
the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.
A lady stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a Praise.
Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle crash and his
scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was terrible and the doctors
didn't know if they could help him."
You could hear a muffled gasp from all the men in the congregation as
they imagined the pain that poor Tom must have experienced.
"Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every
movement caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a
very delicate operation, which lasted for over five hours, and it turned
out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's
scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."
Again, the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed
uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery that was performed
on Tom.
"Now," she announced in a quavering voice, "thank the Lord, after six
weeks, Tom is now out of the hospital and the doctors say that with
time, his scrotum should recover completely."
All the men sighed with relief.
The minister rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to
say. A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
He said, "I'm Tom."
The entire congregation held its breath. "I just want to tell my wife
that the word is sternum."
LMAO!! thanks TDD.
we have those "celebrations for___ or prayers for___" at our church. while it seems to me that our congregation is sharper than the area community at large, i could still imagine it happening.
thanks again for the laugh!
TEDD, I don't know where you keep finding these little nuggets of LOLs, but I hope you keep finding them! I keep C & P-ing them to these two forums for spouses who care for spouses with dementia type problems and they all, along with myself, love them.
Seems like too many of us take our selves just too damn seriously anymore.
Ya think?
Take care,
Ed
Yeah, that dementia humor is a scream. I can't believe I replied to this thread. Bad Steve, bad.
One day there was an old woman, who was dying of cancer, that felt like she has seen everything there is to see in the world.
So she decided that she wanted to end her own life. She felt the best way to do this was to shoot herself in the heart.
She wasn't quite sure where her heart was located though.
So she went to the doctor and he said the human heart is 2 inch to the right of her left nipple.
So she went home and shot herself in the right kneecap.
Ted,
Thanks - I needed that one
LMAO too
Steve, ya shouldn't beat yourself up like that...
> Yeah, that dementia humor is a scream. I can't believe I replied to this thread. Bad Steve, bad.
Maybe you misunderstood my point. I didn't think TEDD's joke had anything to do with dementia. Or maybe you're just one of those people who take their self too seriously.
But I'm registered with those two boards for care givers of people who suffer with many different types of dementia. Most are spouses, but many are children of the victims. Humor is very important to care givers in these situations and there are only so many 'new' jokes floating around the www at any given time. Each site has sections for humor. There are 100s of pages of posts under humor on each one.
There are thousands of members between these two sites I'm talking about. And that number only scratches the surface of the number of people dealing with this disease as care givers. If you're REALLY interested in the subject, and learning what it's like for someone to cope with this nightmare that's happening to a loved one, let me know and I'll post up as many links as you'd like to look at. And, for all I know, you might know about all there is to know about the subject. But, I'd do the same for any other member here.
AND TEDD!, PLEASE POST MORE JOKES LIKE THIS ONE! WE NEED EM, FELLA!
Take care,
Ed

Yeah, you're right about the humor. Some people do take things too seriously, I agree. Like when my mom was dying of cancer and fell out of bed and my dad couldn't lift her back up, I went over to help and we actually had a good laugh about it, including my mom.
I was actually beating myself up that I replied to a thread with scrotum in the title.
Ed
Only with patience and tolerance will we ever be able to cure humorphobia.
