My sister sent me this in an email today. I had to share since it’s my Dad’s birthday and he would have loved this!
 1. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, ‘How long have you been bedridden?’ After a look of complete confusion, she answered…’Why, not for about twenty years — when my husband was alive.’
Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR
2. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while checking up on a woman I asked, ‘So how’s your breakfast this morning?’ ‘It’s very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can’t seem to get used to the taste’ the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled ‘KY Jelly.’
Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI
3. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, ‘Keep off the grass.’
Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient’s
dressing, which said, ‘Sorry, had to mow the lawn.’

AND FINALLY!!!…………..
8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB, I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, ‘I’m sorry. Was I tickling you?’ She replied, ‘No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, ‘I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener’.
Dr. Wouldn’t submit his name
HA!! Happy Birthday Dad!! I miss you a lot!!

First of all, Happy Father’s Day to all you Dad’s out there.
Jeff Gordon’s has to be getting pretty nervous. What a nice gift if she came on Father’s day.
I came across this article from The Marin Independent Journal where Jeff talks to Dave Albee a lot about his upcoming event.
“Are you contractually obligated to race here?”
“Contractions - that’s exactly what I’m worried about,” said Gordon, spinning the word to get a laugh. “Contractually, I’m in a pretty good position with my team (Hendrick Motorsports) to be able to do what’s necessary. I don’t want to miss out on an opportunity (for a win), but the most important time is the birth of your child. I’m not going to miss that.”
Rumor has it that Mark Martin is going to run for Jeff should he need to vamoose real quick.
Tho I don’t generally jump on any celebrety birth band wagon, and never on Jeff Gordon’s bandwagon unless I am forced, I must admit that Jeff has came a long way in my eyes. I think his happiness since his marraige and upcoming birth of his daughter has changed Jeff profoundly.It shows. The man is so happy he can barely believe it himself.
The Albee article is interesting and a nice tribute to Father’s Day.
Jeff has to be starting to shake in his bones. Like all first daddy’s do. That is one lucky little girl.
**’Scopes for Michigan are posted at The Church, plus an overview of my conversation with David Stremme on Tuesday.
Tally Ho!!

Let’s play the where’s Jr. going to go game.
Hendricks? HA!! The Earnhardt lovers/HMS haters would have a test about Driver Loyalty, wouldn’t they?
I will be laughing my rear off if that happens.
What will the fans who have the sticker of #8 peeing on #24 do? Those decals are hard to get off.
I know. They can take a magic marker and cross out the #24 and write in DEI. No, they can’t do that either. That would be sacrilege.
I have to tell you, I am getting a lot is sick satisfaction, just thinking about the looks of horror on the HMS hater’s faces if that’s what he announces. HA!!

She posts. 
The move to The Ranch has been a bit more time consuming and full of hassles than I presumed, but then again, that’s what I get for thinking.
For those of you that are not familiar with me I moved my posts from the old Church over here. I will be posting here at least 3 time a week, as well as my Church home, The Church of the Great Oval.Â
I must admit, I have had some serious hassles at wordpress and I am considering moving the entire Church over to Thunder Lounge, where I can talk to a real human being when I have an issue. I am noticing on my stats over there that a lot of people of clicking through this link, so I suppose I should take advantage of it.
I had an interesting day the other day. I attented a chat hosted by Gillette Young Guns and Sportsmates.com. Funny how the Elder Busch mentioned nothing about the previous days “issues” with Tony Stewart:)
The transcript of the chat is post at The Church, along with a little contest. Gillette Young Guns, always good to me, has provided me with a few trinkets to give away as prizes. Check it out if ya want. Or don’t.
I was going to post on whether Kurt Busch should be suspended, if so and for how many races. For those of you that know me, this may surprise you. I do not think he should be suspended yet. Make him wait. Sweat.
Suspend him after the road races. I love to watch him in them.
OR…
Suspend him only if he makes The Chase. Then suspend him for the rest of the season.
Or…
Suspend him for one race and get on with it. Aggression is part of the fun. He does need to be suspended in my eye, for one race, as his temeper and audacity could have killed someone. That cannot be looked at with a blind eye, and I doubt it will be.
Bench Racin Charlie had Ryan Newman scheduled for an interview on Tues. Somehow a wire got crossed, and Charlie had to settle for me filling in the dead air. Poor Guy. Guess it wasn’t too bad for him, as he asked me if I wanted a smoke afterwards.
RIP Mr France. You were and will continue to be a legend. Without you and your family, we would not have the Sport we so love.
Later LugnutZ and Lounge Lizards.
Gotta go find a Bull.
