We usually have a dark and somewhat adult sense of humor to help alleviate the angst that accompanies the less desirable parts of the job.Tom Shea wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 4:44 pmI'll sit this one out and just observe.
As Clint Eastwood said: "A man has got to know his limitations"
The more obscure you think the topic is, the easier it is for those evil punsters. I went to a science and engineering school, where everything is (supposedly) serious. It was fertile territory.
Oh, and fertile territory, that is of course the OB/GYB floor. No matter how big you originally build it there is always womb to grow.
Plus, and even though I won't give away the answer, if anyone ever asks you what kind of cars Gynecologists drive, here's a hint - they are Swedish.
As it turns out, some breweries actually store beer in the depths of Howe Caverns, since the temperature is always 52 degrees.

Loved it, Emma!

Gosh, I was very proud of Excavating for a mime versus the original song words. The fact that you did not find it funny leaves me speechless. I guess I Marcelled myself short. (Oh, and before you ask, a short mime only acts out 4 letter words - gets them in trouble EVERY time!)

However, since I am always ready to learn/steal good material, what was the pun you were expecting (as in Oscar Wilde says to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, "Am I the pun you were expecting?", "No" replied she, "I'm just wasting a little rhyme."
