He wasn't happy when I put my fingers in his.
Okay, here’s my attempt, titled "Joke Poo":
Joke Poo: The Veterinarian Visit
So, I was at this exotic animal veterinarian clinic, and the vet asked me to pick any poop sample for analysis. He wasn’t happy when I pointed at his stool sample.
Alright, let’s dissect this joke!
Core Elements:
- Setting: A plastic surgery hospital, specifically focusing on nose jobs (rhinoplasty).
- Setup: The doctor invites the patient to "pick any nose." This creates an expectation of choosing a style of nose.
- Punchline: The patient misunderstands (or mischievously interprets) "pick" literally, poking the doctor’s nose.
- Humor Type: Pun/Misunderstanding, combined with a bit of slapstick (the image of someone poking a doctor’s nose). There’s also an element of unexpectedness and a violation of social norms.
Now, let’s enrich it with some factual or interesting tidbits and create new humor!
Tidbit 1: The history of rhinoplasty
Did you know that rhinoplasty is one of the oldest cosmetic surgeries? Evidence suggests nose alterations were performed as far back as ancient Egypt. They weren’t always about aesthetics, though. Injuries from war or accidents were often the primary reason.
New Witty Observation/Joke:
"So I was getting a nose job and talking to the surgeon about the history of rhinoplasty. I said, ‘Wow, so it’s been around since ancient Egypt?’ He replied, ‘Yep. And some of my patients still want a nose fit for a pharaoh… just, you know, smaller.’"
Tidbit 2: Common reasons for rhinoplasty (beyond aesthetics)
While often associated with cosmetic improvements, rhinoplasty can also correct breathing problems, birth defects, and injuries. A deviated septum is a common issue addressed in conjunction with cosmetic changes.
New Joke:
"I told my doctor I wanted a nose job. He said, ‘Is it for cosmetic reasons, or do you have breathing problems?’ I said, ‘Both. I want to look good while I’m struggling to breathe through this thing!’"
Tidbit 3: The "Ideal" Nose
The "ideal" nose shape varies widely depending on cultural trends and individual facial features. There is no one-size-fits-all. What’s considered beautiful in one era or culture might be drastically different in another.
New Joke:
I asked my plastic surgeon what the "ideal" nose shape was. He showed me a textbook full of noses. Apparently the ideal nose changes every week based on Instagram! So now I am getting a nose that works great with filters!
Playing off the Original Joke’s Literal Misunderstanding:
"I went to a plastic surgeon and he told me to pick any nose. I said "Ok" and tried to pick my nose and he looked annoyed. So I told him I have not picked my nose in over 24 hours, I was being polite!"
