Body Cast

A man is in a hospital bed completely wrapped up in a body cast. One of the nurses gave him a rectal thermometer and said, "Don't move, I'll be right back." When she returned the thermometer was in his mouth. She asked in amazement, "How did you get that in your mouth, you can't even move?" "I hiccupped."

The Twitch

Joe has always had an uncontrollable twitch in his left eyelid since he was young. Fred has a splitting headache and asks Joe to go get some aspirins. Half an hour later Joe comes back with a dozen packets of condoms. "I asked you to get me aspirins, not condoms." "Yeah, I went to a dozen drug stores, but have you ever tried asking for aspirin with a tic in your eye?"
