to look for things that bring a smile...it's a small thing, but I always feel better when someone posts something that is funny or heartwarming.

...who gave it the old college try on an exam about basic patient care/skin care principles The question was:

After bathing an uncircumcised male, why is it important to return the foreskin back to the unretracted position?

College try #1 - So the penis won't get cold.

College try #2 - Because you should always put something back where you found it.

I laughed so hard I was crying.

At least once a week. Someone should post things like this.

I haven't laughed this hard since the Georgia legislator showed his butt to Sasha Baron Cohen as a way to scare off terrorists.

When I was an undergrad taking a final, I looked up at the clock and panicked, seeing that I only had five minutes left to finish an essay question. So, I rushed into my writing as fast as I could. The next day, the professor called me at home and asked me if I could come to his office. He said that he couldn't read my last couple of paragraphs. Why ? I had written them out completely in shorthand !!

In one of my theater classes, we had a printout of this and had to read it in front of the group completely straight-faced deadpan like a professor without laughing. If you laughed or mis-read you got buzzed and the next person had to continue.
