Patient: Doctor I’m hungry. I’m finding it more and more difficult to find something to eat that I can keep down. Doctor: The results of your blood tests have come in. That might tell us something.

The patient takes a bite of the banana and drops dead. Doctor: Nurse! Nurse! Come quick! The nurse enters. Nurse: Oh doctor, didn’t you know? Doctor: What? What? Nurse: These seven-armed, green-blooded aliens from outer space are allergic to bananas. Back to Index Next Story Previous Story |
