During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director ‘how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?’

‘Well,’ said the Director, ‘we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the

‘Oh, I understand,’ said the visitor. ‘A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.’

‘No.’ said…

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting,

The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see what was going on…

Then they all started shouting,

‘14….14….14….’

I am five feet, three inches tall and pleasingly plump. Recently, after I had a minor accident, my mother accompanied me to the emergency room.

The ER nurse asked for my height and weight, and I responded in a serious tone, “Five-foot-eight, 125 pounds.”

While the nurse pondered this information, my mother leaned over to me, “Sweetheart,” she gently chided, “this is not the Internet.”

One day, a man walks into a dentistâ€™s office and asks how much it will cost to extract wisdom teeth. â€œEighty dollars,â€? the dentist says. â€œThatâ€™s a ridiculous amount,â€? the man says.

â€œIsnâ€™t there a cheaper way?â€? â€œWell,â€? the dentist says, â€œif you donâ€™t use an aesthetic, I can knock the price down to $60.â€?

Looking annoyed the man says, â€œThatâ€™s still too expensive!â€?

A lady came to the hospital to visit a friend. She had not been in a hospital for several years and felt uneasy, not knowing about all the new technology. A technician followed her onto the elevator, wheeling a large, intimidating looking machine with tubes and wires and dials.

“Boy, would I hate to be hooked up to that thing,” she said.

“So would I,” replied the technician. “It’s a floor-cleaning machine.”

A man who had just undergone a very complicated operation kept complaining about a bump on his head and a terrible headache. Since his operation had been for an intestinal problem, there was no logical reason why he should be complaining of a headache.

Finally the nurse fearing that the man might be suffering from some post-operative shock spoke to the doctor about it.
