Ooh, just thought of one.
Some of you know I'm an IT trainer in our wonderful NHS.

One of the things I had to do at my last employer was show nurses how to discharge patients. This isn't very exciting, there's no ejaculation, pus or bullets involved... you just have to click on the patient and fill in the details of when they went home, were they better, etc.

One of the things that must be filled in is where they went after hospital. There were many options, such as "Usual place of residence" (ie: home).

My usual patter at this point ran along the lines of "Click here, and choose the correct destination for the patient. If they're going home choose usual place of residence, but if needs be you can use other nhs hospital, or if the patient's a prisoner you can choose court, or penal establishment..."

You can see where this is going, can't you?

It just had to be the day that only one nurse turned up for the lesson, and she just had to be quite young and pretty didn't she?

And I tripped over my words and said "...or if your patient's a prisoner you can choose penis... er, penal establishment..."


/length? I think you'll find I shortened it quite a bit there...

I would like to point out
I have done that at exactly that point in many a course. Not least because there is a prison just down the road from our hospital.

Is there
an option for "morgue" on the form?
