"I think cartoonists should be like burrs under the saddle of some egomaniac, kind of gnawing away every day," says two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Szep. "I think the public likes cartoons because it gives them a vicarious pleasure that they normally can't get in any other way."

I recently turned 65 and had to choose a new primary care physician for my Medicare program.
After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing “fairly well” for my age.
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn’t resist asking him, “Do you think I will live to be 80?”
He asked: Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?"
“Oh no,” I replied. “I don’t do drugs, either.”
“Do you have many friends and entertain frequently?”
“I said, “No, I usually stay home and keep to myself”.
“Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?”
I said, “No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!”
“Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?”
“No, I don’t,” I said.
“Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?”
“No,” I said. “I don’t do any of those things.”
He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a sh(word)?

There’s an old German joke…
-
A man comes to an urologist and complains about pains. The doctor does a thorough examination, but can’t find anything. Afterwards he asks the man “Why did you come to see me, really?”. The man says “Well, the wife is on vacation, there is noting good on TV and I don’t have the money for a whore, so I thought I have you fondle me for a bit”…

Happy new year from “Socialist Health Care” Germany :-)

Is this the “mental health” problem the NRA is on about?

Here is my New Year’s Gift to My GC friends.
If you like political comedy, and parody songs, these bipartisan folks will make everyone laugh, or grimace in equal measure.

I think the guy on the couch is supposed to be Szep but he looks like Rupert Murdoch.
By the way, Szep is Canadian.

Good job!

Now if I can just find three people that will stay awake long enough, I’ll tell them that joke and then it will be mine forever!

d_legendary1: My mom is 100 years old, and your joke could have applied to her, for the last 35 years!! I’m the last remaining of her progeny, and I’m convinced her only “purpose” is to outlive me as well. I’ve partaken of most of the elements the doc questioned, so even if she succeeds, I may go with a bigger smile on my face.

I have two cousins in their 70s who used to send me those jokes by email. One is mad because I voted for Obama, the other is recovering from hip surgery. Enjoyed the joke.

At 100 years your mother has learned to ignore what most doctors say is good for her. She has what the Dutch say is “tough bark and good roots”!
