I work in the ER at a Veteran Hospital and sometimes, we get all types of calls that has nothing to do with being ill or being a veteran. A man called today and said; Hey there young lady! I respond by saying: Good Morning,how can I help you sir? He's voice was slurred and burpin in between words. He says:"Listen thoses f*&king kids are walking on my lawn and making a lot of noise! I'm like; Ok, sir are you sick? after two burps..........he says:H@LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL No! I said: Are you a veteran in need of counseling...............NO,Listen to me! The Blanky, Blanky kids are making two much noise and I want them little baaskets to stop! I said: Did you call the police? He said; YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said; What did say and what is going to be done? He sucked his teeth and said;"not a got dang on thing!" What the hel* you think I called u for? I said: Sir, I don't know what to tell you? Hiccup,Hiccup,"Thanks alot Jakask!" Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's nice that you can find humor in your everyday work; I try to do the same, but sometimes it's hard. I work at a book store, and there's not usually much to laugh about - it's pretty much "strictly" business. I do try to have fun with my co-workers when I can, but that's pretty seldom. I guess I try to find things that make me (and customers) smile; like genuinely complimenting them or holding the door open for someone when they need it. I know that's not an actual answer to your question..But still.

I work on a hospital ward and we were cleaning up an elderly incontinent gentleman. My colleague was supporting him whilst I was kneeling on the floor getting the patient's soiled pyjama trousers off. I felt something warm gently rest on the top of my head. I froze and said, "Please tell me that's your hand on my head...." My colleague hesitated and then said...'ok, its my hand on your head' & followed it by saying he'd tell me the truth at the end of the shift! Fortunately, it WAS his hand but he still wont let me forget it 6 months on!
