Medical practitioners opinions on the proposed cuts to the British National Health Service.

The BMA has weighed in on David Cameron's health care proposals.

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had a sort of a gut feeling about it,

but the neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Paediatricians said, "Oh, Grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness,

while the Radiologists could see right through it.

The Surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The ENT specialists wouldn't hear of it.The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow,

and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter....

The Podiatrists thought it was "a step forward" ; but the Urologists were pis*sed off at the whole idea.

The Anaesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the arse*oles in London .

Dave Cox: It's Beethoven with a capital B and wonderful with just one L. That's without getting in to a capital for the first word of a sentence, and a question mark at the end of a question...

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide."

The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."

The pharmacist's eyes got big and he explained, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband, that's against the law? I'll lose my licence! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

Fruit count as one of your 5 a day.
Sweetcorn counts as one of your 5 a day.
Dried fruit counts as one of your 5 a day. Even if you eat it fresh from the microwave.
Popcorn does not count as one of your 5 a day. Why?








I actually know the answer to this but I use it to get my students questioning 'facts' they are told and thought you'd appreciate the brainteaser nature of the question. Real answer later...

Yes. Popcorn is made from the kernels of sweetcorn that have got older and dried. It's the same plant, the same kernels, just different time frames.
