Despite my great distaste for dopers, hopheads, and glue-sniffers, the science is undeniable. I've conducted some of my most inspired surgeries under therapeutic doses of experimental empathogen-entactogens.

In one sense, the protagonist of the popular television program “Sex and the City” is, in fact, the titular sex, the titular city, or some combination thereof.

It would be my life’s honor to one day operate on my secretary Noémie, who is whip-smart, fiercely loyal, and 35 years my junior.

I stand frequently accused, by Bluesky’s resident clods and dolts, of lacking a sense of humor. While I am committed more to logic and reason than I am to japes and buffoonery, I will concede that I am amused by the ongoing inquiry into the ontological relationship between hot dogs and sandwiches.

pediatricians are the lowest paid doctors for a reason - they bring the least value to society. kids are healthy by virtue of being brand new. how often do you bring a brand new car to the mechanic?

Truth! They should be paid less than they currently are.

How is it that we have gone, in such short order, from “Call me Ishmael,” to “call me maybe?” The dereliction of intellectual faculties continues apace.

“Have fun”? We are here to rip and tear—to saw, and to suture—to learn, not to make merry!

Bush was the political equivalent of tripping over a coffee table: embarrassing, painful, but survivable. Trump, on the other hand, is like handing the coffee table a flamethrower and then electing it president. 🤣🤣🤣

The technologies of anesthesia and pain management continue to advance at great speed. In the year 2025 A.D. (Anno Domini), with the aid of a competent anesthetist, it is possible to turn a patient completely inside-out without worry that they will feel even a wink of it.

I am devastated at what’s befallen my order of Surf and Turf at the hands of another knucklehead Doordasher.

I do not recall forcing you to work during a heat emergency; if you’ve made yourself available to accept orders, I can only assume you’re physically capable of completing the job.

If they are growing any sharper this year, the wet-behind-the-ears will have jotted this forthcoming price cut into their business calenders—I do prefer that antiquated spelling!

We have always taken pride in how much skin our customers retain. To that end, feel assured we take accusations of human flensing 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 seriously.

Two surgeons were joking about sutures and soon had each other in stitches.

I wonder often about that first witless fool who saw fit to top pizza pie (a vulgar dish no doubt) with pineapple (a debauched olfactory pairing from any perspective), and have discussed the issue at length with the Reddit community. Where is he now? And could surgery have tamed his obscene desires?
