Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 29, 2022

I don’t want to even think about how many questions I’d get. My doctors have me keeping a daily vital signs log, readings both one hour after I get up and one hour before bedtime … thermometer, blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter and scale.

drastic, ain’t it? can’t be too careful

Well why wouldn’t she ask? If she didn’t, and just waited for however long a mercury thermometer takes, that’s what would be weird. It’s this year, after all.

Do you want to lay down? Is it because of the lousy weather? Where are my car keys? And what the hell are you doing with my old rectal thermometer?

No wife so I got out of this one ;-)

It’s the same at a restaurant. The server or manager asks how everything is when your most is full! And then there is the dentist… ;-)

The same questions and a lot more nowadays when you walk into a medical facility because of the Covid-19 virus.

When a Plugger is married he thinks he’s gotten away from "Doctor’ Mom, only to discover he’s married to “Doctor” Wife.

“…are the mortgage payments up to date? Do you have any secret debts I should know about? Have you been paying your life insurance premiums..?”

Got that right

Its usually Dr. Mom who puts it in my mouth/

Well, he wouldn’t do it if he didn’t feel unwell.

Uh — it kind of raises questions if ANYONE puts a thermometer in their mouth.

“Did you clean that thermometer, first?”

Get a forehead one.

Good thing it’s an oral thermometer.

A Plugger man wouldn’t be caught dead with a thermometer in his mouth!

“Are you aware you’re a dog married to a chicken?”

And grouse about it, but remember that’s one of the reasons why he loves her so much.
