  • How to Tell the Difference Between a Knee a Flower

  • Me: “Hi Honey, it’s me.”

    Hubby: “Hey Tray, what’s up?”

    Me: “I just got back from the orthopedist about my knee and I wanted to let you know what he said.”

    Hubby: “OK. What’s the verdict.”

    Me: “He thinks I have a torn, um… a torn, um… shoot! I can’t remember what it’s called.”

    Hubby: “What does it sound like?”

    Me: “Umm. Oh, I know. It’s a torn Nabisco.”

    Hubby: “You have a torn cookie company?”

    Me: “No. That’s not right. Let me think. I have a torn… Spartacus?”

    Hubby: “That would be an ancient Greek hero.”

    Me: “OK. Hang on a second. It is a torn Hibiscus.”

    Hubby: “I don’t think that’s it.”

    Me: “No?”

    Hubby: “A hibiscus is a flower.”

    Me: “Well I know it sounds like hibiscus.”

    Hubby: “How about Meniscus.”

    Me: “Yes!!! It is a Meniscus! That’s it!!”

    Hubby: “OK. you have a torn Meniscus. That’s not good.”

    Me: “Well the doctor said it could be worse.”

    Hubby: “How’s that?”

    Me: “At least it’s not my Godzilla.”

    Hubby: “Patella.”

    Me: “Right.”
