Dad Jokes; Tasteful or Tacky?

What is Beethovens favourite fruit?
BA NA NA NAAAAA

I personally enjoy the old man jokes. No matter how tacky or lame they are to others. They just work perfectly with my sense of humour and that's probably a bad thing...

So here's a bunch just for you!

Why did God make only one Yogi Bear? Because when he tried to make a second one he
made a Boo-Boo. 

What do you call a guy who never farts in public? A private tutor. 

What do you call a deer with no eyes? No idea. (no eye dear) What do you call a deer with no legs and no eyes? Still no idea. 

What's long, yellow and fruity? An apple in disguise.  

What's the difference between a guy falling from the 1st floor and one falling from the 17th floor , the guy falling from the first goes, ' splat , Aaaaaaaargh " and the one from the 17th goes, " Aaaaaaargh , splat ". 

Where do kings keep their armies? In their sleevies.

Why did the Koala fall out of the tree? Because it was dead


Why did the other Koala fall out of the tree? Pissed itself laughing


Why did the third koala fall out? It thought it was a game.


Why did the kangaroo drop dead? The koalas fell on it

Tacky, Terrrible and yet to the stressed Uni student they are small gems.

Things that will frustrate me to no end.

It's come to the end of my second week of university and I can't say it's too bad so far but there a few things that could be changed minimally that would make it so much easier for the student to learn.

For example the suggested pre-readings instead of stating "Do pre-readings before Tutorials" could be much easier and time efficient if they instead suggested a textbook, or chapter within a text, instead of suggesting the unit uses 7 suggested textbooks but no prescribed text. ((The difference is a prescribed text is one that the exam will be based on and the unit centered around, a suggested text means there are only a handful of chapters used in all.))

Another way in which I believe it could be improved is through the teachers use of time. Instead of spending an hour and ten minutes going over what we learned last week we could perhaps go over the homework for 10 minutes, then move onto this weeks work for the next 1hour 30minutes as 40minutes spent on the currents week work is no where near enough.

Furthermore there is the issue of groups. Whilst this may have been highly useful in primary school, because the smart kid did all the work, in University it is difficult to organise a sufficient amount of time each week to the the group homework that doesn't even contribute to our grade. I am also of the opinion that a group of Five people is much too large when the homework assignment is one question.

Finally would it kill the teacher to realise we haven't just come out of 20+ years in gastrointestinal studies we don't know what the hell you are saying/writing when you use abbreviations that will only be found in that one hospital. I swear nothing is more frustrating then not being able to read what the teacher has written on the whiteboard or when you ask and they think telling you the abbreviation is useful. -Sigh- Sometimes it is frustrating when they think it's useful to just write "Aldast Mechanism" when you can't understand what you just told them their weekly group homework is.

I wish Google could tell me what "Stress response. Rennin - Angiotensin Aldast Mechanism" was :/

Even Water has a chemical composition....

Another start to another long/short University year and this one is eerily similar to the last. The standard welcome, the plagarism warning and the reminder that patient privacy extends to social network sites like twitter and facebook.

Today was informative lecture that could only have been more educational if I hadn't done the pre-tutorial readings, try saying that ten times fast, so all in all it was actually a good refresher on the text. One topic that was covered was Nurse Responsibilities Related to Patient Medications.

But no amount of medicine can cure stupid so that is why the nurse is required to educate the patient regarding their medicines and addressing the issues important to the patient such as Why are they taking this medication, What will it do to them and How they take it.

Another issue is that many patients don't consider herbal remedies a drug because they are 'natural' and contain no 'chemicals' but as the lecturer pointed out even water is made up of chemicals.
