Sick JOTD
-
Three pregnant women are sitting in the medical centre waiting for their appointments and all are busy knitting baby stuff. After a while one of the woman puts down her knitting, reaches into her bag, gets out a bottle of pills and takes one. The other two look on and one asks "What's that you're taking?". The woman answers "Vitamin C, so when my baby is born it will have a strong immune system." Knitting resumes and a bit later one of the others puts down her knitting and takes a bottle out of her bag and pops two tablets. "So what's that you're taking?" asks one of the others. "Vitamin E so that my baby will be strong and energetic." is the reply. The knitting carries on. Five minutes later the third woman puts her knitting down, opens her bag and removes a bottle and takes a pill. The other two look on and naturally one asks "And what are you taking?". The third woman replies "Thalidomide." "WHAT!" shreaks one of the others "Why the hell are you taking thalidomide?". "I can't knit sleeves."

A bit rough but not worth a 1 - 5 to counter.

I first heard that joke about 1985-ish and just about choked as I was mid beer-slurp at the time. It came to mind again as there has just been a case in Australia of a thalidomide victim winning a large settlement against the bastard drug company responsible. :thumbsup:
