Laughter, the best medicine!!

By Edel Q. Mwende

Clumsy dancer While dancing at a party, I tripped and stubbed my toe. Days later, my toe swollen and purple, I went to see a podiatrist. I told him how I hurt myself and admitted to feeling foolish at being so clumsy. After X-raying my toe, the doctor said he didn’t need to do anything. Anxious to speed the healing, I asked whether there was something I could do: “Should I soak it? Put it on ice? Is there anything you recommend?” He smiled and said, “Take dancing lessons.”

What we have is a free eye screening.” Weight guessing Our Lamaze class included a tour of the pediatric wing at the hospital. When a new baby was brought into the nursery, all the women tried to guess its weight, but the guy standing next to me was the only male to venture a number. “Looks like 9 1/2 pounds,” he offered confidently. “This must not be your first,” I said. “Oh, yes, it’s my first.” “Then how would you know the weight of a baby?” He shrugged. “I’m a fisherman.”

Numbing At the busy dental office where I work, one patient was always late. Once when I called to confirm an appointment, he said, “I’ll be about 15 minutes late. That won’t be a problem, will it?” “No,” I told him. “We just won’t have time to give you an anesthetic.” He arrived early.
