Nurses Humor

I bought my first Mad Magazine in May 1970 (for 35 cents at the hormonally pubescent age of 13) and it changed my life. I felt as though I had come home and these people spoke my language; the language of spoof humor.

As Mad Magazine had comics of "(Various Things) We'd Like To See", I give you "Nursing Ads I'd Like To See":

Sometimes, models with toothpaste smile are used in nursing ads with headings for serious subjects which just doesn't jive.

Standing around and smiling about emotional and physical pain?

I don't think so:

In other cases, some models do not convey the positive side of a subject and need to model in ads which are not positive:

My medical wife Belinda and I like to do some things the old fashioned way. Belinda and I are in the process of canning and baking. She canned some green beans, made and canned some orange carrot pineapple marmalade, baked some muffins, and I baked and froze some kale chips.

I'd like to see a nursing ad about nurses pumping the old fashioned way:

Even seasoned professionals need to review basic information before an invasive procedure, as this ad that I would like to see shows:

I always loved "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions". I remember one in particular, in which a man (dining alone) was asked by the waitress, "Table for one?" And one of the answers was, "No, 112. I like to change seats every few minutes."
