  • "You have X months/weeks/days to live". 

    "You're going to need invasive surgery".

    Thankfully I've been a healthy person for most of my life. There will be time for things to start going wrong...

      “Why, Mr. Randolph, you’re not following me here. Listen carefully, please, I will repeat it. I’m telling you that this is a permanent medical condition, it will be with you for the rest of your natural life; sir, I’m afraid that you’ll never be able to have sex again . . . Mr. Randolph? Mr. Randolph? Nurse, get the smelling salts! Stat!”

      Wait, you’re a science-educated guy, so you know all kinds of potions and elixirs.  I have been afflicted with a mysteriously-administered and potentially debilitating medical condition that promises to ground me in my most prolific contribution to human femaledom, thereby rendering me less influential in the world of Er, uh, um, of “harem management”.  Yes, let’s call it that, harem management.  As soon as my lack of relevance in my chosen field is made public, you make a bid for the spoils, and long before my corpse is even cold, I must add.  One take on this requires an examination of which party or parties stand to gain the most from the demise of my hierarchy in the microcosm, the only logical connection following A leads to B leads to C leads to conclusion is that you are the most obvious suspect in this bloodless coup attempt! My legal staff has already begun a flanking maneuver to cut off your attack, and in working with my medical clinicians to identify the venomous bile you’ve  slipped to me, and to locate the most effective antidote to reverse its stranglehold on my amorous lifestyle. Grrrrrrrr.

    The only effective antidote is Vegemite. You can thank me later.

      Dilemmas, dilemmas! Vegemite as an avenue to ensure continued sexual pleasure, or living a life without it by honoring my hatred of the vile potion?

     (Sigh.) I guess I’ll be living out the remainder of my life in a secluded monastery under vows of silence, poverty, piety, celibacy . . . hell, gimme a spoon. Grrrrrrr.

    You will have to subsist on a diet of stewed prunes and sardines for the next three months.

    I could do that easily! Ha! :)

    Count me as one STRANGE child - - I've loved prunes since a young little guy! :)

    Oh, wow! Did I ever interpret your answer wrong! You're definitely right with your answer then, ha!

    I saw "prunes" and my mind went all happy on me. :)

    Welby didn't notice that it was a mixture of sardines and stewed prunes on the menu, he just read 'prunes'

    Sardines and stewed prunes: 'BARF!' This post was edited by Kittigate at March 12, 2021 1:15 PM MST

    Congratulations Mr. Jones.. you're pregnant.

    Funny thing... seems your surgeon forgot his glasses and he misread "cataract surgery" as "castration surgery" on your chart.

    I hope your life insurance is paid up.

    Could you tell your wife that I tested positive for herpes. 

    Ew, that looks really bad.  If I were you I'd go see a doctor .

    The water's off and were out of Purell, but I'm sure my hands are clean.

    Could you tell your wife I found her panties; they were on my chandelier.

    I'm sorry, Mr. Walker, but the surgery wasn't successful.  You're still an a**h***.

    How would I know?  What do you think I am, a doctor or something?

    Your diagnosis?  Let's see... Eeny, meeny, miny, moe....

    I'm sorry, I only accept cash.

    I was having PE problems, so I went to the doctor's, dropped my pants and said, "I think I'm a bit premature."
    She said, "You certainly are, I'm the receptionist." This post was edited by Slartibartfast at March 13, 2021 9:41 PM MST

    Tour condition is usually terminal but there are some life-saving therapies, but first you should be aware that this procedure/drug is expensive and not covered by your insurance.

    If you had just come in 6 months earlier we could have done something for you.

    I don't even want to think of the countless things, let alone hear them.

    I probably don’t want to hear good news bad news from the doctor.

    The good news:  COVID-19 has been eradicated.
    The bad news:  You’re the first person in the world with COVID-21!

    The bad news:  We haven’t seen this before so we don’t know how to treat it.
    The good news:  You’re going to be famous!  We’re naming it after you!
