Operating room conversations you don’t want to hear!!

Going in for any surgery is a major fright in itself. Imagine hearing the things you read below in the theater!

1. There’s a lot of money in kidneys. Heck, this guy has got two of them!
2. Oscar, you bad dog!! Come back with that!!
3. Oh shit! Page 35 is missing from the manual!
4. Wait a minute! If this is her kidney, then what is that?
5. Can you stop that thing’s beating? It’s disturbing my concentration.
6. Anyone see where I left the scalpel?
7. What do you mean he was not in here for a sex-change?
8. And now we remove the subject’s brain and place it in the body of the ape.
9. OK, now take a picture from this angle. This truly is a freak of nature.
10. Everyone stand back. I lost my contact lens!

English is a funny language!

English is the lingua franca of the world. How often we have stopped to wonder how difficult this language is! I was recollecting some of the sentences in English and it is truly amazing to see some of the sentences.

1. The bandage was wound tightly over the wound.
2. The farm was used to produce produce.
3. The buck does funny things when the does are present.
4. I had to subject the subject to a number of tests.
5. It was just a minute prick and it was over in a minute.
6. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
7. They were too close to the door to close it.
8. There was a row amongst the oarsmen about how to row.

And some more:
1. Heartburn does nothing to the heart at all!
2. A house can burn up as it burns down.
3. Our noses run and the feet smell!

Beauty meets the beast?!

This real-life anecdote dates back to the times of GB Shaw and Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe and GB Shaw were attending a function when the two happened to meet. Their conversation goes like this.
MM: Hello, Mr. Shaw, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I have heard a lot about your intellect.
GBS: Why my lady! It’s my pleasure to meet you too and I have heard a lot about your beauty.
MM: Why don’t we get married? Imagine what the world would have to say when we get a baby with your brains and my looks?
GBS: It would be my pleasure to marry a woman like you. But I am scared to imagine what if things happen the other way around and we get a baby with my looks and your brains??

Tips to lose weight

Obesity has been one of the most talked about afflictions in recent times. Obesity has been known to be a direct risk factor for coronary heart disease, diabetes, and strokes.
An effective treatment to reduce weight should always combine different approaches. Some of these approaches include:
1. A reasonable reduced calorie diet: Do not indulge in starvation diets. They are impossible to maintain over longer periods and inevitably lead to weight being regained. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Reduce fatty foods as much as possible.

A little story of few days back

This story goes back to my early twenties. A friend of mine came back from Nepal. At the time, many of my friends, were travelling to India and Nepal. He had brought some small stuff with him. Little buddhas, some gems and the odd piece of jewelery.

In this friend’s house, a youngster was hanging around. Suddenly the friend took out some bowls. They were made of human skulls. These were very nicely decorated with some gemstones. I believe it might have been lapis lazuli and turquoise embedded in silver. Personally, I firmly oppose the smuggling or trading in these holy relics. Let them stay in the culture they belong. Let them remain holy.

THE WATER TURTLE

The water turtle

Last summer,on an afternoon while i was in the garden doing some chores to keep it clean.

Suddenly someone was calling me.A woman ,who stood at the frontdoor holding a waterturtle fom about 20 cm in her hands

She told me that my turtle was escaped and was about to cross the road(we don’t have a turtle at all)

We live in a very noisy street,wich is full of traffic

It would be certainly hit by a car or a truck

When i took the waterturtle in my hands it looked straight at me(in the eyes)It seemed not to worry at all.

The shield was slightly damaged probably from an other accident

I put the turtle in the backyard,our two dogs where more scared of the turtle than the other way around.
