A little humor for us...
A friend sent these to me today and they made me chuckle! Thought I'd share
 How does an RE like his eggs? Over 20mm! Why did the RE cross the road? Because there was an affluent, infertile woman in her 30s on the other side. One ovary says to the other ovarie, "Hey, did you order any furniture?" The other ovarie says, "No, why?" "There are a couple of nuts outside trying to shove an organ in." Why does it take 50 million sperm to fertilize one egg? Because they won't ask for directions either! You know you are trying to get pregnant when someone asks you today's date and you reply "Day 21" . . . How many infertility patients does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Screw in a lightbulb! Hmmm . . . do you think it might help? . . . Getting the Mechanics There was an RE who decided he no longer wanted to practice. Instead he wanted to restore old cars. To prepare himself for this career change, he signed up for a mechanics course in engine repair. He studied really hard, and the day arrived for the final exam. The task was to find out what was wrong with the engine and repair it. The RE took a little longer than the rest of the class, but he got the job done. A couple of days later he went to see how he did. Up on the wall, beside his name he saw a mark of 150%. He was really puzzled so he went to the instructor. "How can this be?" he asked. The instructor replied, "Well, I gave you 50 points for figuring out the problem, and 50 points more for solving the problem. BUT I had to give you an extra 50 points for doing all the work through the exhaust pipe!"

Thanks we needed that!
I feel so taken for my $$$ with all this infertility...they always talk about attorneys out for cash...but these Res are cashing in big time! 60 min show needs to do a report on this! HEAD lines : CASH COW RE's!
