The above statement is the brainchild of Bill Engvall,of Blue Collar Comedy Tour. It stand for something so obvious that this is,a correct
answer. One that comes to mind

Mechanic,walks up,to the pilot and says" Are you going to fly,the,plane?
Pilot: No I'm going to a costume party and I'm,standing here until they,pick me up

Okay,a story from my own family. Cousin Amanda,i s going to have ambulatory,surgery at local hospital. Amanda,is lying,on a gurney in the surgery waiting room, she is in hospital gown, blanket,over,her and an IV started. My cousin , her husband Brendan is sitting next to the bed, holding her good hand. Brendan is on my Daddy s side so he looks nothing like me. The person,he most resembles is Judge Ito of the OJ trial , even had a neatly trimmed goatee. Brendan is one,of the few cousins on that side I can stand, maybe because,he' s only a second cousin and turned out okay. Those of you who have followed my stories know what I think,of my boy first cousins on that side, most need garroting. Relatives on that side didn't like me because I don't resemble them.The majority are brunette and black hair, I'm tall, fair and have strawberry blonde hair & what was worse- the first child born after parents were married more than 9 months. Thought there might be a slight irregularity in my branch,of the family tree. They wanted to worry about that, take good look at Brendan , unless he's a throwback to the Native American blood nobody,admits to, his mama had an oriental friend, Irish name not withstanding.
Anesthesiologist walks into,the area looking,at his clipboard instead of looking up,finally looks at Amanda on the bed in a gown,and Brendan sitting next,to her fully dressed and says " And who will be having surgery this morning?"

I'm pretty sure they teach them that joke in med school.

Probably so, another cousin this one on Mama's side, her hubby pushing her in a wheelchair because she' s SO far,in her labor. Ward clerk looks up at Sarah, panting, blowing and gripping the armrests for dear life and says "And what are we here for today, dearie?"
For an only child I have an exhausting and inexhaustible amount of cousins. A lot of Happy Harry's and Fertile Myrtles in my family 🌳 tree😛

The course is bedside manor/ icebreakers...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
