Electrician’s wit and wisdom (last week).

Phone.

Company Director (CD): BOD, I need to submit a personal reference by Friday for a Ministry job secure site.
BOD: No problem, see you Friday.

CD’s office.

CD. Thank you. Calling an electrician over, where’s your form? You’ve had a fortnight to fill it in otherwise you can’t go on site.
Elec: All done except the bit asking where I was born, but I haven't been able to get hold of my parents to ask them.
CD: Are your grand parents alive?
Elec: Yes, why, do you think they’ll know?
BOD: I’m fairly sure one of them was there at the time........................


Regards


BOD

    Doctor: Where did you have your operation? (Thinking of which part of the body.)


    Patient: In Hull Royal Infirmary.


    Etc. ?

    Person 1: "We need to get them to a hospital".

    Person 2: "A hospital? What is it?"

    Person 1: "It's a big building with lots of people in white coats, but that's not important right now".


    Some (probably corrupted) dialogue from "Airplane!".

    Rumack: You’d better tell the Captain we’ve got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
    Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
    Rumack: It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.
    Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
    Captain Oveur: I can’t tell.
    Rumack: You can tell me. I’m a doctor.
    Captain Oveur: No. I mean I’m just not sure.
    Rumack: Well, can’t you take a guess?
    Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
    Rumack: You can’t take a guess for another two hours?


    But to work with electrics needs a clear and logical mind.


    A wife asks her husband to do the shopping..

    ' would you go down to the shops, and get a pint of milk, and if they have some eggs, get 6.'

    Later when he returns home she looks at his purchases and says 'Why the heck do we have 6 pints of milk?'

    - 'They had eggs.'

    Etc. ?


    When I was a kid, doctors sometimes used to ask questions like that when you mentioned you'd had an operation ... and actually mean "Which hospital" because medical records often went missing !
