Very, very funny and true!
If I may add one more:
"Spread open your legs so I can insert this "(foley cath)
I look very asian, but I'm hispanic, so working in a family care clinic for a chinese doctor he taught me what to say as a curtesy to his patients.
I would walk in, paper garments in hand and say (in mandarin):
"I don't speak chinese, please get naked"
'undressed' was completely unpronouncable!
I don't know about getting arrested, but these two will sure make heads turn!!
1. I used to teach CPR, and the Annie had a paper strip read out that showed how hard the student was compressing, etc.
A student of mine, (female), who was having trouble passing the class, stopped at my table at a local pizza shop, and in a voice louder than she intended, said: "Can I stop in and do a strip for you tomorrow, I've been practicing !!" You could hear necks snap, as they turned to look!!!
2. Working in surgery, everyone I work with is, of course, in scrubs. Who hasn't run across the line: "Oh, you look different with your clothes on!"
Not lines to get arrested for, but fun to watch lay people reactions.

To my co-workers,"Another one bites the dust..." Gallows humor, I guess.
