Jokes that don’t translate well when written
Doctor: [Explaining the procedure known as an episiotomy to me and the Mrs.]
Me: That don’t sound like it’s appeasing any damn body.
The Mrs.: Just keep your mouth shut.

LMAO I should have thought of that one when the Mrs. had our son. Good one, SU.

You could have made the grave strategic error my uncle made with the birth of his fifth child. He asked the doctor if there was any chance of “taking up some slack” with the episiotomy.
I overheard him relate the horrible story and its repercussions to my dad.

Hehe! Too funny! I would like to have seen the doctor’s face when you said it!

My then-girlfriend (now wife) once insisted that I check myself into the emergency room because I was running a fever of 105. I felt truly miserably, but wasn’t certain an emergency room visit was warranted. Still, I caved and decided to go.
Now you must understand, I often deal with stress by using humor; even if in my sick and miserable state I was completely deadpan.
The doctor took the temperature and asked if I’d done any traveling recently. Me [poor attempt at humor]: “Well, I just got back from Zaire…” (I’ve never actually set foot outside of North America.)
Mind you, this was in the heart of the Ebola scare, and Outbreak had just hit theaters. Without even the slightest hint of mirth, the doctor said “That’s not funny,” and proceeded to ignore it.
After we left (I was fine, just a generic fever), and getting a lecture from the then-future Mrs., my only defense was, “Well, I thought it was funny…”
