So, while I’m still in a good mood about radiation, let’s come up with all the hokey jokes about the topic and get them behind us. For instance, when you see me there’s no need to say, “My, you’re glowing!” or “You look radiant!” Don’t ask if it’s an illuminating experience or whether I feel like a piece of toast in the microwave.
I’ve already heard the admonition “Quick. Close the door. You’re letting out all the radiation.” Believe me, the staff is very good at closing Liam’s door. And if you don’t know who Liam is, you didn’t read yesterday’s blog.
And, free of charge, here are two radiation oncology jokes. But you have to know something about physics to really appreciate them. A neutron walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “How much for a beer?” The bartender looks at him and says, “For you, no charge.”
Two atoms sit in a field of ionizing radiation. One atom says, “I think I lost an electron.” The other says,” Are you sure?” And the first atom says, “I’m positive!” I do not claim credit for these last two items; they came from a website called SDN, whose mission is to help students become doctors.
Class dismissed.
