I Know You’re Not a Doctor, But …

Hello dear avid readers, how are you today?

As some of you are I’m sure aware, people like to ask me for medical advice a lot. I always try my best to answer their questions and I thought I’d share some of the past few questions I’ve received and my answers with everyone.

And remember, for medical questions, just shoot me an email at DumbFunnery@gmail.com, post a comment, try Twitter @DumbFunnery, or Facebook on the DumbFunnery page. My God I’m incredibly available to reach. You might be tempted to think I’m making up the idea of people ever writing in to ask questions, but that’s just silly.

On to the very real questions!

 

1. Recently my nephew was diagnosed with something that apparently only kids can catch. It’s called ‘hand, foot and mouth disease.’ Is it REALLY only contagious with kids?

Hey pal, sorry about your nephew. That stinks! On to your question: In most cases the disease is found in people 5 years and younger. However it can sometimes also be caught by adults. What doctors won’t tell you is that if you are young at heart, you are just as susceptible to the disease as a child, so be wary.

 

2. What’s this growth?

Woah! Heya buddy, that’s puberty in action!

 

3. I recently strained my calf while playing softball. How long do you think I’ll have to wait before I can play softball again?

You got injured playing softball? Huh. Maybe sports aren’t your thing.

 

Thanks for the questions everyone, and remember, stay healthy!

Fun with the Fam

This past weekend a cousin of mine (who helped inspire this world famous band) introduced me to a new game: Telephone Pictionary.

The idea is that person 1 writes down a phrase, person 2 looks at the phrase and draws a picture to capture that phrase, person 3 looks at only the picture and writes down what phrase he/she thinks it is supposed to represent (so if you’re perfect at this then person 3’s phrase matches person 1’s phrase) … Like I said, Telephone Pictionary.

Each person has a stack of papers and a pen and you’re off. You could have only one person write phrases/draw at a time but that’s boring.

Here are the results of round 1 of the game. The initial phrase is mine.

My other phrases were tougher: “shhh, don’t make this weird” and “history is bunk.”

Swords in a puddle, the guy added to represent a confused look (my question mark was maybe a little mean) and … see what happens?

And now death is in the picture.

This fella on the boat is supposed to be death. TALENT.

“Death” with his sickle has become a fishing caveman.

 

(Also the above picture really is an unintentionally decent drawing of Captain Caveman.)

And the final drawing … Which is basically the exact thing anyone would draw when hearing the phrase “swords in a puddle.”

Dear Ellen,

Here we see Chewbacca in one of his most terrifying adventures – the one where the Empire captures him, gives him a whole body perm, and he walks around looking like a human poodle. Oh cruel Empire, have you no heart!?
