Humor Hurts

It’s a day early, but Happy April Fool’s Day.

(By the way, if you hurt yourself laughing at Tony Isabella‘s gag then please seek medication attention—stat!)

Transcript:

SCENE: Doctor in a hospital acts like he’s having sudden, overwhelming pain as a patient in a bed looks on in alarm.

CAPTION: Dr. Kevin thought his “Alien chest buster” reenactment
was hilarious…just the thing to relax his surgical patients. He never grasped the correlation between this…and the rising cost…of his malpractice insurance.

  I really like the “James Brown” one. (I did just recently watch Get On Up – Chadwick Boseman was fantastic; such a loss.)

    I haven’t seen the film yet, but I certainly agree about the loss!

I recall a (probably) ZAP comic book from the 70’s – the sort of comic book that featured Captain Pissgums and His Pervert Pirates – that had a panel where Sluggo asks Nancy if she’d like to see “Opie my one eared elephant”. First time I’d heard that phrase.
