As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I work, I
ask the patients if they are allergic to anything. If they are, I
print it on an allergy band placed on the patient's wrists.

Once when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies, she
said she couldn't eat bananas. Imagine my surprise when several
hours later a very irate son came out to the nurses' station
demanding, "Who's responsible for labeling my mother 'bananas'?"

Then there was the little boy who when asked if he had any allergies, stuff he can't have, whispered in the doc's ear.

Later he went home sporting an orange bracelet which had on it, in big black letters: "ALLERGIC TO: BROCCOLI, SPINACH"

black letters: "ALLERGIC TO: BROCCOLI, SPINACH"

I think he and I have the same condition. <G>

I love spinach, & broccoli is ok, if cooked right. . . (steamed al dente)

I love brussels sprouts cooked dsame,but Ui will neverr eat another pea iu my life! (wayyy over did my limit as a kid, since it was the only green my dad liked, & so it was on my plate, too, & in those days -- no choice -- eat everything on the plate.

Apparently as a baby, I couldnm't get enough of peas!

overdose, yup. . .

Now I'm "allergic" (intolerant)

As a kid I liked most vegetables just fine if they were fresh & raw.

Even garden peas! Found out recently I'm not too fond of the English ones, even raw! (more or less like Lima Beans in a pod made of wool)

Asparagus doesn't cut the muster, though -- don't like it in any form, even raw.

George,

There is a meme in the shape of all the continents and land masses of Earth...and it notes "Strive For Whirled Peas". <G>

I prefer "English Peas"...although I doubt they came from the UK. <G>

I likely posted this in another echo or message. The guy was growing this stuff in a greenhouse, with wires in it, so it could grow. He'd always check
it at sunrise...so "This is the dawning of the cage of asparagus". <G>

You can just use them to catch polar bears instead.

1. Dig a hole.
2. Put some wood in the bottom of the hole and light it on fire. Wait for it tu burn down to ashes.
3. Surround the hole with peas.
4. Then wait...

And when the bear comes to take a pea, you kick him in the ash-hole.

If Prince Charles is in the kitchen & you hear a "zzzzip," just say "no"

I love that soundtrack -- have had it on LP for many years now. .

Weather warning: It's going to be in the 60s for the next bunch of puns. . . (not bad for you, but something fearsome in Canada!)

Q: What do you call a hippie's wife? A: Mississippi

Q: What does a hangman and a hippie have in common? A: They're both into tie-die!

My dad is an old hippie, this was his thoughts on the 70s "I used to do drugs in the 70s, now I don't care what the temperature is"

My hippie grandmother has finally come up with a name for her bakery. Flour power.

Q: Why couldn't the lifeguard save the hippie? A: He was too far out, man.

Q: How does a hip polygamist count his wives? A: One Mrs. Hippie, two Mrs. Hippie, three Mrs. Hippie......

Q: How did the hippie burn his tongue? A: He was drinking coffee before it was cool, man.

George,

I asked, loong ago, in here, "Anyone got the recipe for this "Whirled Peas" Xmas dish I keep hearing about?"

Better than a Trees Pee-Tee....that's what the dogs have. <G>

If Prince Charles is in the kitchen & you hear a "zzzzip," just say
"no"

The tabloids and the soap opera folks are having a field day.

I love that soundtrack -- have had it on LP for many years now. .

It was from the musical "Hair", with "Good Morning, Starshine". The
church I was with 55 years ago, did several songs part of the deal,
including Sheb Wooley's hit "The Purple People Eater".

And, if the Pontiff has eye surgery, requiring a patch...then sounds
the beeper on his Pope-Mobile that flies around, and has overdone it
on the grapes and wine, would he be "The One Eyed, One Horned, Flying
Purple Papal Leader"?? <G>

That compares with the joke asking what you have with a group of
Texas A&M Aggies, sitting around a campfire, singing, drinking Tab,
and eating apples?? "The Moron Tab And Apple Choir". <G>

Yes, it's a Monday. <G>

Weather warning: It's going to be in the 60s for the next bunch of
puns. . . (not bad for you, but something fearsome in Canada!)

Sometimes, we wonder what happened to the weather stripping on the
Canadian border. <G> But, our big winter snows are usually late in
January, and during February...like it was last year.

Q: What do you call a hippie's wife? A: Mississippi

If you're not the beanstalk climber's daughter, you're Jackson.

Q: What does a hangman and a hippie have in common? A: They're both
into tie-die!

That is a pattern not for the colorblind folks.

My dad is an old hippie, this was his thoughts on the 70s "I used to do drugs in the 70s, now I don't care what the temperature is"

They said dress for the 50s today, so I dressed like Buddy Holly. <G>

My hippie grandmother has finally come up with a name for her bakery. Flour power.

All I saw was an episode of The Three Stooges, where they looked like a ghost, with "a flour explosion".

Q: Why couldn't the lifeguard save the hippie? A: He was too far out,
man.

He would've done better with a rip fart than a rip current.

Q: How does a hip polygamist count his wives? A: One Mrs. Hippie, two
Mrs. Hippie, three Mrs. Hippie......

There was a commercial years ago for an insurance company, where the guy
had multiple cars, multiple kids, and multiple jobs. Then, this woman yells
to her husband that dinner is ready...and he notes "One Wife". <G>

Q: How did the hippie burn his tongue? A: He was drinking coffee before
it was cool, man.

How did the blonde hurt herself trying to start the car?? She burned her mouth on the tailpipe. <G>

Yup, I have the LP -- very trippy cover art! (I miss LP cover art -- like Moody Blues -- they turned every cover into a two-page story.)

the beeper on his Pope-Mobile that flies around, and has overdone it

Purple Papal Leader"?? <G>

Stretching too far for that one. . . Many are wondering, if the Pope is appointed, ultimately, by God, & presumably blessed by God, why does the Pope need to drive around in a bullet-proof upside
-down aquarium?

Sometimes, we wonder what happened to the weather stripping on the
Canadian border. <G> But, our big winter snows are usually late in
January, and during February...like it was last year.

I finally figured out wy Americans think wee're sio cold year-round 8in Canada.

You see a weathermap that shows both sides of the border, in August & some nice 80s & 90s on your side, but directly across the border, in Canada, nothing higher than 35! (in AUGUST!)

One old-timer in Detroit noted, "That must be howthey knew where to put the border."

Q: What do you call a hippie's wife? A: Mississippi

If you're not the beanstalk climber's daughter, you're Jackson.

Or you're the giant's daughter.
Mama's baby, but Papas's maybe!

They said dress for the 50s today, so I dressed like Buddy Holly. <G>

Nice! If it's the 50s here, EEEP!!! It did ht 50 here one August -- that's Las Vegas temps! (122F)

Q: Why couldn't the lifeguard save the hippie? A: He was too far out,
man.

He would've done better with a rip fart than a rip current.

Saw a real NatGeo video of a blue whale farting -- far OUT, man! RADICAL!!!

That's a rip you don't want to cross paths with!

How did the blonde hurt herself trying to start the car?? She burned her mouth on the tailpipe. <G>

That must be Debbie, I used to date her. . . very briefly, trust me. . .

I hate tailpipes.
They're exhausting.

Had a dream that I was a tailpipe last night I woke up exhausted

Turns out our Lyft driver is a sheep herder He said he'll be here in two shakes of a lamb's tailpipe.

People who run behind cars get exhausted. But people who run in front of cars get tired.

My son asked, "Why can't you help me put his together?" Me: "I'm feeling like a bicycle?"
Him: "What's that mean?"
Me: "I'm two-tired."
