Well, I really can't label 1-17, I just thought 18 would be a good place to start
a) I was looking through the pantry today and had a thought:
"If I were to say the word 'Prego/Preggo' what is the first thing you think of?
If you think spaghetti sauce, you are probably normal.
If you think another word for pregnant woman, you are probably of my generation who's vocabulary has been tainted by the use of slang which is now approaching 2 "slang words" for every "word" we have in the English language.
b) This next one is a just an open-ended thought questions:
"Do you think Elton John wanted for this lyric 'But losing everything is like the 'sun' going down on me' to have a double meaning, a so called double entendre?
Think about it...
See, I don't think so. I feel, specifically in his case, it would be like 'gaining everything,' unless of course he was worried about committing statutory rape.

God love nurses II
Here is another note dictated by a nurse.
(On assessing if a patient is with it)
"Alert and oriented to person/place and time. However thought current president
was Rommel (correct answer would be Obama) and last president was Ford. When
confronted stated that he always confuses Ford and Bush."
Yes this is completely true. The patient thought Rommel (Field Marshall Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel of Hitler's Nazi Germany) was our president. Of course this went on for about five minutes and we figured the patient may have said "Ronald" as in Ronald Reagan, but I personally like the Rommel story better.
I also enjoy the fact the nurse included "Obama" as being the correct answer, as if the person reading the note has had their head in the sand for the last 2 years.
(The Medical Intern later questioned the patient and got this answer.)
"Some foreigner is the president but I know he's going to be good."
That's that. I cannot interpret that any cleaner or twist words to make it more funny. It is perfect just the way he said it!

God love nurses
This was copy and pasted from a progress note written by a nurse. (Don't worry, there was no HIPAA violations)
"Pt.(patient) tolerated being up and had loose bright yellow stool that had a foul odor of a dead animal laying for awhile. Very foul.
