I am only starting this whole business but the funniest thing that has happened to me so far is from when I had my first op for my partial and gland removal.
I don’t know why but this time after waking up in recovery I was all happy, you’d think after this one I’d be all weepy like I usually am but anyway I digress. There was a man brought in opposite me and his surgical team were coming in to check on him. An anaesthetist walked in past me and looked at me, I smiled at him and waved, he looked back at me rather strangely and then checked the name at the bottom of my bed. He walked out and gave me a long look. Then a few seconds later he came back in and walked over to be. He apologised and asked if he knew me, to which I gave him a huge morphine induced smile and said “No I just wanted to wave at you”, he smiled politely and disapppeared very quickly.
Then when I was wheeled back up to the ward I checked the time and realised all my teaching mates were on lunch together at that time, so I phoned my friend the PE teacher as she always has her phone, all i could hear was her saying in a confused tone, “it’s Lisa”. She said hello and I, again morphine induced, said “HI it’s Lisa here, just thought I’d phone you and tell you all I am out from my surgery and feeling great”, She said I sounded a little groggy, very polite and I replkied yep I am doped to the eyeballs and couldn’t be better. I can see that once being brought up again when i get back to the staffroom.
Not hilarious but makes me chuckle each time I think about them

when i was in the little room where you wait before you go in for rads, this awful alarm started going off - I thought Id touched the button by mistake and was getting hotter by the minute thinking how am I going to explain this, then the radioographer unlocked the door and said weve got to evacuate! So we all had to troupe out into a safe area for ages, turns out a member of staff had presssed it by mistake! Oh the relief!
When I was about to go into theatre for my mastectomy my surgeon was marking my right breast with a black marker pen. He was very glum and I suddenly got a fit of (nervous) giggles. I turned to my husband and said in an Australian accent " Can you guess what it is yet?" The surgeon stopped, looked at me and whistled the tune of ‘tie me kangaroo down sport’ - love him!!
Heard this today - Vicar arrives for General Synod conference in London, checks into Hilton and says to receptionist “I hope the porno channel in my room is disabled”. She replied “You are a sick bastard”!! Am still laughing.
One of my funny moments…immediately after chemo - away for the weekend with a girlfriend and we are wandering around the supermarket getting all the stuff we need when she turns to me and says “can I just borrow your shampoo?”. She then looked at me, bald as a coot, and collapsed in the aisle with laughter, so did I!
