STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!

An old one of mine.

NHS DIRECT.

A woman lounging on the couch, on the phone to NHS DIRECT .

Operator
Hello NHS direct. How can I help you.

Woman
I need to speak to a Doctor or nurse please. It is quite important

Operator
What is the problem.

Woman
Well my husband’s head seems to have fell off.

Pan to woman holding her husbands head in her arms.

Operator
Well we are very busy at the moment it may take up to 80 minutes to get a call back. I will Mark you as a 2. The marking system goes from 1 if the person is dying up to 10 for a grazed knee.

Woman
But his head has fallen off.

Operator
Well he is dead DUH! That means no rush to help him.

Woman
He is perfectly alive I can assure you.

Operator
What without an attached head.

Woman
Would you like to speak to him, hold on

Woman puts the phone to the mans head.

Man
Hello my head seems to have fallen away from my body. I think I need to speak to someone as soon as possible.

Woman lifts the phone back to her ear.

Woman
Are we still marked at a 2.

Operator
No you are now a 4. The head spoke so that means his breathing is fine. You will receive a call within 120 minutes. Bye now.

2 hours later the phone rings

Woman
Hello

Nurse
Hello there, This is a nurse. I am returning your call to NHS Direct. How is your husbands head.

Woman
Well it is still away from his body.

Nurse
Ok right, is your husband able to talk

Woman
Hold on he is sleeping I will just wake him up.

Woman picks up her husbands head from under her arm and starts shaking it violently. His eyes open, roll about for a while then he awakens.

Woman
Right he is awake now, I will just put him on

Woman puts her husbands head on top of her own head.

Woman
Right I am wearing him now. He is on.

Nurse
I really would like to speak to your husband please.

Woman
*Tsk*. Puts him on her lap and places the phone to his ear.

Man
(Very sleepy voice) Hello

Nurse
I understand from your wife that your head has fallen off.

Man
(Yawns) Yes, I am afraid so. Clean off.

Nurse
Are you suffering from any dizzy spells

Man
Nah

Nurse
What is your body doing

Pans to his body, which is lying in a crumpled heap on the floor

Man
Erm! Not a lot really

Nurse
Is your head swollen at all

Man
No I don’t think so.

Nurse
Are you in any pain

Man
Surprisingly No actually

Nurse
Are you on any medication

Man
Umm yes I am. I am taking gongameenaluna.

Nurse
Ahhh! Gongameenaluna.

Man
Yes gongameenaluna. Does that explain anything

Nurse
No not at all I am afraid. I have no idea why gongameenaluna tablets would cause your head to fall off.

Man
Oh!

Nurse
So you are not dizzy, or swollen or in any pain. Your breathing is fine beacause you are speaking.

Man
That’s correct.

Nurse
So apart from the fact that your head has fell away from your body you are in perfect health.

Man
Perfecto

Nurse
Right. All I can say is should any of the symptoms you dont appear to have become apparent, please call NHS Direct again. Or go to your local Hospital. You are now marked at a 10. A call back will take around 3 days ok. Now if you dont mind I am hanging up. There could be some person who is realy sick trying to get through. (mutters time wasting decapitated freak)under her breath.

SCENE - A HOSPITAL

DOCTOR : Now then Mr Jones. The operation won't take long. You'll just feel a little scratch - ha - in my day you used to feel a little prick - ha ha ha.

PATIENT LOOKS AT DOCTOR ANXIOUSLY

DOCTOR : Now of course I may look like I'm a little short sighted. I know these glasses are thick but I've been working on hysterectomies for years.

PATIENT : I'm a bloody man. You can't give me a hysterectomy!

DOCTOR : There's always a first time for everything ha ha!

PATIENT : He's not going anywhere near my ...

DOCTOR : Oh it's just my - other -little joke, you know the little prick first? I'm just trying to put you at ease.

PATIENT : If that's aiming to put me at ease then what happens when you want to really worry someone?

DOCTOR : Why would I want to worry you?

PATIENT : I don't know but you're doing a bloody good job of it now!

DOCTOR : Now come on - calm yourself. You'll only get yourself all het up.

PATIENT : Well what do you expect?

DOCTOR : Come on then - give me a clue. What exactly are you in for?

PATIENT : If you don't know I'm not letting you anywhere near me!

PATIENT JUMPS OFF THE TROLLEY AND RUNS OUT OF THE OPERATING THEATRE.

DOCTOR : Right - that'll save us half an hour on the waiting list. Can you bring in the next patient please nurse?
