My brother sent me this when he learned I had to have an ICD.

Fuel pump, blood pump, water pump, they're all about the same...
You know, I worked as a respiratory therapist for four years before going to law school. Hospital employees have a family like atmosphere and relationship while on the job. When the feces hit the wind generator, the tension and stress were almost palpable. That's when the gallows humor would kick in. I won't, and can't, share what was said but it relieved the tension and stress but did not affect our giving the patient 100% our best efforts. However, had someone who did not understand what as happening overheard us, they would have found the comments and conduct highly inappropriate.
Here is an example of gallows humor I found on the internet:
"There was a crowd waiting around the gallows to watch. As the hangman put the noose around his neck, he was asked, "Do you have any last words?"
The murderer said, "Yeah, I have a joke that I came up with while I was waiting.
"So, I hadn't showered for a week by the day I killed my wife. I tied her up and told her that I'd cut her apart while she was still alive, and she told me, 'At least cut my nose off first.'"
Everyone there burst out laughing. The hangman said, "That joke was about something terrible! Why was it so funny?"
"Well, I believe you can make a joke about any topic funny," said the murderer. "After all, good comedy is all about execution.""

Back to the Austrian amputation. This went to court after the correct leg was amputated. I understand that the patient lost the case because he didn't have a leg to stand on!

It looks more like the flapper in my porcelain convenience.
Hmmm... oh... yes! Either way, it surely doesn't belong where the ad suggests
One of my favorite movie. Not so light though but one of Scott's best performances in my opinion. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HftRP0NAJYg[/ame]
