ARE YOU READY FOR A JOKE?

Thanks Diane D. for this!

You always send me these really good jokes

when I really need a good laugh!

 

As an English teacher you have often heard me say

how important it is to pronounce clearly and

to try to remember that the stressed sounds are different

from the French ones which are spoken by syllables!

Here is a good example of mis-pronunciation

 or  is it mis-hearing!

So if someone laughs the next time you speak English

maybe you will have unwillingly made a joke!! !!

ENJOY!

 

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.
"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and

pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely:

"Are - my - test - results - back?"
