Everyone remembers Agustus Gloop, winner of one of the five Golden Tickets, a member of the lucky party allowed inside the mysterious chocolate factory of Willy Wonka. Likely everyone also remembers Gloop’s ‘issues’ (namely lading chocolate from a river into his mouth until he tumbles in, is sucked into a pipe and sent to the fudge room). Poor Agustus. The fudge room. But even if the Oompa Loompas get his mother to the processing area in time to save him, his worries are far from over.
How about cardiovascular diseases? Endocrine? Colon cancer? Respiratory problems. All these face sorry Agustus if he survives having his numbers fudged.

What are you at getting terribly fat?

Sign over a gynecologist's office: "Dr. Jones, at your cervix."
Door to endoscopy:
"To expedite your visit, please back in"
Door of a plastic surgeon's office:
"Hello. Can we pick your nose?"
In a hospital:
"If we see smoke, we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action."
On a maternity room door:
"Push. Push. Push."
At an optometrist's office:
"If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place."
In a podiatrist's office:
"Time wounds all heels."
A new medical facility with several different specialists opened in a trendy part of the city last month.
Wanting to be different and creative, the administration decided that each doctor's office f would, in some way, be representative of his practice.
So, when construction was complete, the eye doctor's door had a peep hole, the orthopedist's door had a broken hinge, the psychiatrist's door was painted all kinds of crazy colors, and the proctologist's door was left open - just a crack.
"We have the results back from your test and... I'm sorry, you have an extremely contagious deadly disease known as G.A.S.H."
"G.A.S.H?" replies the man. "What the heck is that?"
"It's a combination of gonorrhea, AIDS, SARS and herpes," explains the doctor.
"My gosh, Doc!" screams the man in a panic, "what are we going to do?"
"Well, we're going to put you on a strict diet of pizza and pancakes," says the doctor matter-of-factly.
"Will that cure me?"
"No," says the doctor, "but it's the only food that will fit under the door."
