RE: Know any good fibroid jokes?

I think the best jokes for this kind of thing are in situation comedy

and observational humour. They'd probably work well as newspaper

cartoon style one frame gags.

Things that have struck me as funny include going through a

gynaecological examinition and then the doctor saying you can pull

back the curtain now for privacy in getting dressed again....as if

there's any modesty left by that point :-)

Drinking lots of water for an ultrasound scan and then only worrying

about going to the toilet and no longer caring about the diagnosis

until you've gone to the bathroom!

For black humour, incidents like phoning the hospital and being told

by the person on the other end of the phone that they 'get all these

long medical words muddled up!

For the frustration in humour, you have logging on to sites like

these where the adverts are of women with flat stomachs wearing

bikinis.

For fibroid humour that only means something to forum women, you

could have a hospital permission form with really odd questions on it

based on various women's forum stories.

You could probably make a one frame gag from me in the doctors office

with a long list of questions. The doctor, (who couldn't see how many

more I was going to reel off before she could go home) is saying 'Can

we make the next one the last question?'

I just remembered another one. I believe it was in the Melbourne

Clinic fibroids book that one of the authors had got into

Gynaecology because his father was a gynaecologist. As a

small boy he would hear his father talk about removing fibroids

the size of oranges, grapefruits or melons. He'd imagine women

with gardens of fruit growing inside them.

There has to be at least one fruit basket joke.

Also, am I the only one who has looked up things on the internet

and got on to vetinary sites by mistake? :-)

Ok, Roma, that does it -- you're on the bill for evening entertainment at the

New York Opening Doors in September. I take it your stage name will be

" Roma-With-A-View " ?

Carla and I are working on getting the basics laid out for the NY Opening Doors

-- I've been picking up on the hints from some of you that you think it's about

time for a preview -- and hopefully we'll be back to you shortly with at least a

partial list of speaker and a " Save the Date " .

With the news that Roma will be our lead performer, I'll sure we'll be sold out

in no time!!
