For all you doctor wanna be's
1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby

> underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there
> were several cabs and I was in the wrong one. Submitted by Dr.

> To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of

> embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, "I'm
> sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you
