A  woman went to the emergency  room, where she was seen by a young new doctor. After about 3 minutes in the examination  room, the doctor told her  she was pregnant. She burst out of the room and ran down the corridor  screaming.

An older doctor stopped her and asked  what the problem was. 
After listening to  her story, he calmed her down and sat her in another  room. Then, the doctor marched down the hallway to the first doctor's room. 

"What the world is wrong with you?" he demanded. "This woman is 68 years old, she has two grown children and several grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?!!" 

The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up and said,  . . .

A farmer whose mule was killed in an auto accident sued the driver of the car, citing the farmer's own injuries. The driver's lawyer cross-examined him on the witness stand. "Now, Farmer Smith, did you or did you not tell the first officer responding to the scene that you were fine?"

"Well, let me explain-"

"Yes or no, Farmer Smith, please."

"Well, yes."

"Then clearly any injuries you suffered could not be the result of the accident?"

"Let me tell you what happened," the farmer said. "My mule was pulling the wagon when this car came out of nowhere and hit us. I was thrown clear, and before I knew anything the police car was there. My poor mule was dying, and the cop took out his gun and put him out of his misery.

"Then he looked at me and asked, 'Are you OK?' What would you have said?"

In my next life I want to live my life backwards.

You start out dead and get that out of the way.

Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day.

You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day.

You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.

You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school.

You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play.

You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born.

And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day.
 

Two guys meet up in a bar. The first one asks, "Did your hear the news - Mike is dead??!!!"
"Woah, what the hell happened to him?"
"Well he was on his way over to my house the other day and when he arrived outside the house he didn't brake properly and boom - He hit the curb, the car flipped over and he crashed through the sunroof - Went flying through the air and smashed through my upstairs bedroom window."

"What a horrible way to die!"  "No no, he survived that, that didn't kill him at all. So, he's landed in my upstairs bedroom and he's all covered in broken glass on the floor. Then, he spots the big old antique wardrobe we have in the room and reaches up for the handle to try to pull himself up. He's just dragging himself up when bang, this massive wardrobe comes crashing down on top of him, crushing him and breaking most of his bones."  "What a way to go, that's terrible!"  "No no, that didn't kill him he survived that. He managed to get the wardrobe off him and crawls out onto the landing, he tries to pull himself up on the banister but under his weight, the banister breaks and he goes falling down on to the first floor. In mid air, all the broken banister poles spin and fall on him, pinning him to the floor, sticking right through him."  "Now that is the most unfortunate way to go!"  "No no, that didn't kill him, he even survived that. So he's on the downstairs landing, just beside the kitchen. He crawls in to the kitchen, tries to pull himself up on the stove, but reached for a big pot of boiling hot water, whoosh, the whole thing came down on him and burned most of his skin off him."  "Man, what a way to go!"  "No no, he survived that, he survived that! He's lying on the ground, covered in boiling water and he spots the phone and tries to pull himself up, to call for help, but instead he grabs the light switch and pulls the whole thing off the wall and the water and electricity didn't mix and so he got electrocuted, wallop, 10,000 volts shot through him."  "Now that is one awful way to go!" 

"No no, he survived that..."  "Hold on now, just how the hell did he die?"  "I shot him!"  "You shot him? What the hell did you shoot him for?"      

"He was wrecking my house."
