The percussionist loved the trumpet player.

The trumpet player loved the vocalist.

EDWIN’S JOKE

 

Last December Edwin, bored with being asked the same questions at his regular hospital appointment, thought he would have a bit of fun with the staff.

‘Name and date of birth?’ asked the receptionist.

‘Ebenezer Scrooge. Christmas’, he replied grinning.

She stared at him.

No sense of humour that one he thought as he took a seat.

But determined to make one of them laugh he gave the same reply as he continued up the medical hierarchy.

However, no one thought him amusing and now it is July and Edwin is stuck in the dementia unit pleading to go home.
