Dear of troy: do you mean you are a peasant, and have a hand-operated sun-roof? Then a little snow down the back of your neck ought not upset you.

there might be something to be learned from gravity if i slide my sun roof open... and the glass is no longer holding up the snow... where's it going to go?


At the risk of belaboring the obvious - if you try to open a sunroof (or even a moonroof) that is covered with snow, you will very quickly become aware of the gravity of your situation.

And while on the subject of words, distributed by email, here's one I received this morning (I'm sure glad I'm not in any of these hospitals) ... apologies if anyone has seen these before!

Actual writings on hospital charts:

She has no rigors or shaking chills, but her husband states she was very hot in bed last night.

Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.

On the second day the knee was better and on the third day it disappeared.

The patient is tearful and crying constantly. She also appears to be depressed.

The patient has been depressed since she began seeing me in 1993.

Discharge status: Alive but without my permission.

Healthy appearing decrepit 68 year old male, mentally alert but forgetful.

The patient refused autopsy.

The patient has no previous history of suicides.

Patient has left white blood cells at another hospital .

Patient's medical history has been remarkably insignificant with only a 40 pound weight gain in the last 3 days ..

Patient had waffles for breakfast and anorexia for lunch.

She is numb from her toes down.

While in ER, she was examined, x-rated and sent home.

The skin was moist and dry.

Occasional, constant infrequent headaches.

Patient was alert and unresponsive.

Rectal examination revealed a normal size thyroid.

She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life, until she got a divorce ..

I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for physical therapy.

Both breasts are equal and reactive to light and accommodation.

Examination of genitalia reveals that he is circus sized.

The lab test indicated abnormal lover function.

The patient was to have a bowel resection. However, he took a job as a stockbroker instead.

Skin: somewhat pale but present.

The pelvic exam will be done later on the floor.

Patient was seen in consultation by Dr Blank, who felt we should sit on the abdomen and I agree ..

Large brown stool ambulating in the hall.

Patient has two teenage children, but no other abnormalities.

Hev

The more I thought about it, the more permutations suggested themselves to me, but quick, before TEd sees this, I just have to say it gives new meaning to circus peanuts!

Have these porno movie makers no conscience? The least they could have done was to buy her a drink afterwards!

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."

Now I'm dying to know whether this is a common problem in Sweden.


I'm a chainsaw mechanic. I'm scheduled to attend a Husqvarna training session on 12 March. Ill be sure to bring up this question. Maybe this explains why so many of the Swedes I know are half nuts
