This made me laugh

Too true!!!
Pre pandemic I actually rated our gp surgery quite highly, now it's virtually impossible to get to see (or even talk to) a doctor. The rest of the world is learning to live with Covid, it seems doctors have found hiding behind their pc screens not having nasty patients cluttering their office is quite pleasant.

Whoops, that should be in "Rant of the Day" shouldn't it.

Testing bulletproof vests in 1932. Hmm... was the shootee allowed to shoot back?

 

Only if the vest didn't work. Oh, wait a minute...

For 2 weeks now, a man in Moscow has been going every morning to a newsagents, where he scans the front page of every newspaper. Then he shakes his head and goes out without buying anything.

This morning, a shop assistant challenged him, and asked what he is doing.
'Reading the obituaries', he replied.
'Obituaries aren't on the front page!' said the assistant. The man replied,
'The one I'm looking for will be!'

 

One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and leaves her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seems fine, but after awhile she slowly starts to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seems fine, but after awhile she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright. This goes on all morning. Later the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home. "So, Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?" they ask. "It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let you fart."
