Humour


Why Ambulance Vehicles  Are So Popular.......  

Battery, oil, water, fuel and tyres do not need checking nearly as often.

They need cleaning less often, especially inside.

They can be driven for long distances with the oil warning light on.

Unusual and alarming engine noises can be eliminated by adjusting the radio volume.

No security is needed. The vehicle can be safely left unattended, unlocked with the keys in the ignition.

Reverse gear can be engaged while the vehicle is moving forward.

They can take bumps at twice the speed of normal vehicles.

Heavily reinforced tyre walls allow any gutter to be negotiated at any speed or angle.

The suspension is upgraded to allow for the carriage of building material, horse feed, computer desks and occasionally patients.

Patient Examinations

A well developed adolescent female was being examined by the paramedic for cold symptoms.  The paramedic who was standing behind the patient, leaned over her shoulder with a stethoscope to his ears and said, "big breaths".
The young girl, hesitated for a second, then replied, "I know, and I'm only 12 !


Paramedic:   "It's no good. I can't find anything wrong with you. It must just be the effects of drinking."
Patient:         "Come back when you're sober then!"


Patient to the Paramedic:
"It hurts when I press here" (pressing his side)
"And when I press here" (pressing the other side)
"And here" (his leg)
"And here, here and here" (his other leg, and both arms)

The Paramedic examined him all over and finally discovered what was wrong... "You've got a broken finger!"
