I've asked a woman how her nipples were feeling. She just laughed but then she realized I was asking her about it because she was a new breastfeeding mom.
While doing venipuncture I said "You'll feel a little prick" the female patient goes I had a big one last night. I didn't ask but did she mean a bigger needle or her boyfriend's got a big p***s.
My favorite was working inthe Coronary Care Unit. My Team leader and I were especially challenged to look after a very big, strong and aggressive man with a temp. pacing wire in his groin (very awkward posittion!). My TL, a very experienced CCU RN called out to me from behind the curtains "get me some more tape please while I'm holding this". On returning, there she was with a big handful of genitles, not realising she had been holding them just a little too long after I had already applied more tape! Needless to say, no complaints from the patient!
