cat

 Nar then veterinary.... could ya 'ave a look at mi cat?

Is it a tom?

Nay lad i've browt it wi' mi!

(if you have a go at saying the above in as Yorkshire an accent as you can muster, then it probably works better)

I think i've always liked word and pronunciation jokes..... or puns, if you prefer.....

Take for example. i guess in a Somerset kind of accent..... whale, oil beef hooked!

Iced ink!

Hoof hearted?

oh wah tar nar Siam!

childish but simple word jokes that i've lived and loved for many years......

Anyways....

Yesterday i was at the horse-piddle for another check up on my leg..... 

Half ten appointment..... and i'm still waiting to see the doctor at half eleven......

Get called in, sit down, hello, hello, yes, everything looks fine.... i think we can sign you off now.....  

"Wait... that x-ray you are showing me of my own leg is over a month old and was taken before i started walking on my leg"

"Are you worried about it?"

"no i'm not worried but perhaps we ought to have an up to date x-ray to see if putting any weight on the thing has caused anything to change?"

"ok, go get an x-ray and come back"

I could have done this while i was sat waiting for the last hour couldn't i?

Suffice to say.... none of it took too long and the x-ray looked ok from where i was sitting..... not that i am a trained medical professional or anything.....

They signed me off from orthopaedics and now i am solely in the hands of the physio department.....

One small step for a man, a giant leap for an arctic fox?

Bang!
