Two doctors were complaining about nurse Lucy, who is filling in because the hospital is so short-staffed. The first doctor says, "I told Lucy that Mr. Smith in room 310 was to get two pills at 10 o'clock. Instead she gave him 10 pills at 2 o'clock."

"Tell me about it," says the second doctor. "Mr. Miller in room 325 was supposed to get one injection at 6 o'clock, but Lucy gave him six injections at 1 o'clock."
Suddenly the doctors hear a blood-curdling scream from down the hallway. The first doctor says, "Oh no! I just realized I told Lucy to prick Mr. Johnson's boil!"

I wonder what Lucy’s surname was…!
Liraeyn@reddit
Bedelia, methinks
HamletHomer@reddit
I had to look up that reference! But I’m still confused: are you conflating Lucy Deakins and Bonnie Bedelia, both of whom appeared in “The Boy Who Could Fly”?
InfravioletUltrared@reddit
No, the joke is Lucy is related to Amelia Bedelia, the maid who takes everything literally
HamletHomer@reddit
Thanks! For my part, I was referring to Lucy Letby - but that’s a very specifically British reference 😌
InfravioletUltrared@reddit
Ahh I see!
Liraeyn@reddit
Amelia Bedelia, but she usually did exactly what she was told. This is clearly her sister.

The hospital! What it it?
Cr4nkY4nk3r@reddit
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

The white zone is only for loading or unloading passengers. There is no stopping in the red zone.

My brain went with the spoonerism first and didn’t get what it meant to brick someone’s poil.
jerdle_reddit@reddit
I believe it's like bricking someone's pipi.

Still sounds painful.

Did they use the hospital portable p boiler machine?

Took me a minute.
Lucy boiled Mr Johnson’s prick.

Jokes don't work if you have to / have them explained
SyntheticDreams_@reddit
Oh fuck off. Jokes are still funny after being explained if you're not the joke police.
johnlooksscared@reddit
Hello hello....what's going on here then?
Surely the point of a joke being funny or not is in the ear of the beholder...and some one explaining the nuance ruins the concept?
SyntheticDreams_@reddit
The humor is indeed in the ear of the beholder. Not all beholders think an explanation ruins anything. Some even find it enhances the humor.

And beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Everyone to their own...so every opinion is valid!
Yella-Man@reddit
I don't think beholders have ears..
johnlooksscared@reddit
What do you hold on to then?
Yella-Man@reddit
I honestly don't know. I've never thought about holding a beholder.
johnlooksscared@reddit
Something to aspire to....you might ask what's aspire and I will tell you...the pointy bit on some churches.
