- Why do elderly patients always know where to grab and exactly how hard to do it? Also, how can you see to grab my left breast in the dark? I can't see you grabbing me, so how are you so damned accurate??
- Why is it that as soon as I grab a cup of coffee a call bell goes off, or a patient falls out of bed?
- Why does the call bell make me feel guilty for not moving quicker?
- How come, after quite a few A&E shifts (of days and nights) I still haven't seen someone with something inserted into an orifice?
- Why is every Philipino nurse pregnant?
- How come I always get wee splashed in my face?
