Stating the obvious, this was a joke sent to me by a friend. Since I know her
height and weight (which is neither of the below) I thought it was funny. But
since my height and weight (neither of the below as well) may not have been
evident from the picture, I wonder if I managed to mangle a good joke. Sorry
about that if I did.
Not a joke, two bird families built nests and hatched a bunch of chicks in the
eves of two different sides of my house. Kind of an awww moment, except what a
mess they made. I'm afraid that if I clean out their nests and fill the spaces
with steel wool (I'm told that's the thing to use), they'll go to an less
accessible eve. I'm debating leaving the nests. I don't even like birds. All
the trees around here, and they choose the house. I once had a cat who loved
to be outside during the day in nice weather but she would never ever spend the
night outside. Given half a chance, nature prefers civilization too. Makes me
wonder why people like to camp.

I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain
basics.
How much do you weigh?" she asks. "115," I say.
The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 140.
The nurse asks, "Your height?" "5 foot 8," I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5'5".
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
"Of course it's high!" I scream, "When I came in here I was tall and
slender! Now I'm short and fat!"
The doctor put me on prozac.
