Burn

Stu served six years for criminally negligent homicide after the tech dropped dead from shock.

She would see right through that Stu!

Good one!

Last time I got X-ray’d the technician was Ukrainian. She goofed the IV first time and I swore a little in Ukrainian (боже мій). She gave out a hardy laugh. She said she hears that a lot at home.

This will likely be posted in some radiology department break rooms!

Wait, Stu… don’t jump out from behind the door just yet. Let’s see if she freaks out, or just calmly locks the doors and quietly gets the broom and dust pan!

She’s actually not fooled. The pile is too big and standing too straight to be Stu.

I’ve seen this before. Don’t remember if it was this strip or not, but I’ve seen it.

Oh NO! Not again!

April fool

Bleeb refuses to be part of this?

Nice one Stu. Now you’ll never know that you swallowed a Armadillo.

Good one!

Love it!

My kind of prank!

I always tell my dental hygenist to be gentle or when they do xrays, I’ll scream “It’s burning! It burns!”. Would have been impressive at my old dentist, where the chairs were in side by side cubicles.

The tech has the last laugh as Stu is billed for two sessions.

He puts the Stu in stupid!

It…..they…..what is…..OMG!

Stu is in the wrong hospital. He should be in the psych ward across town.

It’s not nice messing with your x-ray tech, eventually you’ll have to get the x-ray.

That’s funny I don’t care who you are.

Ooooh I wanna try this out so bad

LMAO
