Monday morning writing joke: “Heaven can wait”

A dog, a doctor, and writer arrive outside heaven. The dog is let in because of its companionship. The doctor is let in because of her work saving lives. The writer is sent to purgatory to do another draft.

Monday morning writing joke: “It ain’t write, I tell you”

Two writers went to the same doctor’s office on the same day. She told each one he didn’t have long to live.

“It’s awful,” said the first writer. “I’m right in the middle of a novel and she’s only given me six months to live. I’ll never get it finished. What about you?”

“It’s awful for me, too,” said the second writer. “She gave me three years to live.”

“Three years!” the first writer said. “Three years! What’s so awful about that?”

“I write short stories,” the second writer said. “And I’m fresh out of ideas.”

Monday morning writing joke: “Practicing”

I accuse.

I accuse.

Lawyer: “Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?”

Doctor: “No.”

Lawyer: “Did you check for blood pressure?”

Doctor: “No.”

Lawyer: “Did you check for breathing?”

Doctor: “No.”

Lawyer: “So, then, is it possible the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?”

Doctor: “No.”

Lawyer: “Doctor, how can you be so sure?”

Doctor: “Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.”

Lawyer: “But could the patient have still been alive nonetheless?”

Doctor: “Yes, it is possible. He could have been alive and practicing law.”

patient talking to doctor

Sometimes words cannot adequately express….

What the doctor wrote

And sometimes what is expressed is not quite adequate ….
