Jokes

Over the years I saw patients who loved to tell me jokes—almost all new to me. I tried to remember some of the best ones, but I might hear so many in a day that it was hard to keep track. By far, the best joke tellers were women, one in particular, Trudy, who heard the stories at her bridge games. And they were raunchy and she couldn’t wait to try them out on me. I also had a Jewish patient whose husband I got to know and who told particularly Jewish jokes. The week I retired, a long-time patient came in for her treatment and handed me a book-length folder of jokes which her husband had collected. He wanted me to have a copy. I was touched by the gesture. Another patient, an elderly Irishman this time and a severe asthmatic, always came prepared with a story or two. His jokes ranged from ethnic through just plain smutty, and, since he spoke with a booming voice, I always saw him behind closed doors, or, at least got up and closed them if he indicated a story was forthcoming. My friends often wanted to know where I got all my stories (the ones I dared to tell) and they would nod knowingly when I said that I heard them from my patients.
