The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for October 17, 2018

No Joy, don’t do that. His doctor may decide to take him off life support.

Man! I hope he never needs a tetanus shot. Those hurt! But, it’s better than the alternative. I’m not all that fond of Burl, but I wouldn’t wish tetanus on him.

She’s finally going to drop him off by the railroad trestle and drive away real fast.

Seems having a Penny as a patient would be an unbearable pain.

I got my flu shot last week. I barely felt it going in. No pain at all from it. However, I also got a pneumonia shot in my other arm and though I barely felt the needle, the medication hurt going in and that arm was sore all the rest of the day. Also got a bad headache (I very rarely get any headaches) which was one of the side effects listed for the pneumonia shot. My doctor did say to use my arm as much as possible. Can’t remember why, but it sounded like a good reason at the time. When I woke up the next day, the pain was all gone.

Leads into the joke, “Doctor, it hurts when I do this…”

Burl is the lead act in IDIOTS ON PARADE!

Wait, ask Burl if he can stand on his head for one minute. If he can, then no doctor visit will be needed.
