Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Hard to believe that was the first time that anesthesiologist heard that joke, but it sure seems like it. It's proof that dad jokes really are funny.

even if they've heard it before, delivery can change it completely

If the anesthesiologist is wheeling you in you’re already receiving medicine and so the delivery is probably everything

You can also just make stories up on the internet. No one's gonna fact check you.

It's true, just like that quote from Albert Einstein on how you shouldn't trust stuff on the internet

I want to think the delivery probably made it hilarious

I imagine that if you hear the joke enough, it would end up having a meta-level of humour, similar to how cashiers joke about the silly people who say "does that mean it's free?" when something doesn't scan. In that case though, the jokes are at those customers who think they're funny, whereas in this case, the humour would partly come from being happy for the patients who are so tremendously psyched to get top surgery.

Random story time: I had the “guess it free” thing happen in reverse the other night. Cashier at a gas station I go to often tried to scan my drink 3 times and then said fuck it just take it
