She brought it in a cup to show the other nurse "Hey, remember [baby] and his lip...well, [the doctor] wanted me to save the specimen." She showed her the pink/red gum in the cup and the other nurse completely flipped out. Then the prankster nurse proceeded to pop the "specimen" in her mouth. At which point the victim nurse was hysterical with horror.

You guys are killing me here!!!!!

When the orderly walked into the room, the nurse said "hey Trent look at this..." Being young a gulliable Trent looked into the sputum cup....when he took the look, he just turned all the shades of green...but when the nurse up ended the cup and swallowed the oyster, that was the end of our poor orderly for the rest of the day....be bolted out of the room and made bee line for the slop hopper and then took himself off home......we laughed for days about it....and even more so when the nurse 'fessed" up to the prank. The Charge nurse thought it was just brilliant!!!!!

Holy Schnikes!!!!!

The ventriloquist thing is absolutely hysterical and I haven't had that good of a laugh in a long time and I really needed it!! Thanks for sharing. I hope that if I croak in a hospital some of my nurse pals will have that kind of fun with me!! Those here who find this little dittie offensive would really hate my repertoire of "dead baby jokes" aquired from many years of Level 3 NICU. Remember to never take yourself or life too seriously!!!
