I wouldn't say that to anyone. First of all, it's only marginally humorous. Secondly, eventually you're going to get in trouble when you say it to the wrong person.

I have a hard time believing that no one these patients have talked to cares about potential sexual harassment lawsuits. A really hard time.

Let me ask you this- even if it truly is only a minority of the patients you say this to that feel uncomfortable, is the fact that other people think it's funny sufficient justification to make some of your patients uncomfortable? Are the patients with a "good sense of humor" somehow entitled to better care from you?

Let me share a story with you. When DH was in paramedic school, one of his classmates told a woman in labor who was having trouble swallowing a pill that if she knew how to swallow she wouldn't be in that position. He was pulled off the floor immediately and dismissed from the program.
Drop the line. You're a nurse, not a comedian.
Just noticed this. Nooooooo!!!!!

I agree! But I just can't help feeling it will be revived on Saturday night, as these topics often are. Creepy.
