Can You Bear It?

A woman went to a walk-in clinic, where she was seen by a young, new doctor. After about three minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant.

She burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall.

An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him what had happened.

After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another exam room.

The doctor marched down the hallway back to where the first doctor was and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 59 years old, has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was PREGNANT?!"

The young doctor continued to write on his clipboard, and without looking up, asked, "Does she still have the hiccups?"

Son: "Why are you saying LOL?"

Mom: "I am adding Lot's Of Love."

Son: "Mom, that means Laughing Out Loud!"

Mom: "Gotta go, I have some urgent calls to make..."


On their 50th wedding anniversary, a couple summed up the reason for their long and happy marriage.

The wife said, "For my part, I have never corrected my husband's spelling."
