Some random things that have made me laugh recently.
One of my residents is given to rather odd, often vulgar, but usually hilarious phrases. Some of his latest gems include:
"They" and "them" are spirits of darkness. When someone tells you "they" all do it, run the other way.
Don't give him heparin, ambulate the motherf@#%&r.
Giving this guy predisone is Kosher as Christmas.
Overheard in the waiting room, from a very obviously newly married couple:
"Kix? You put sugar on your Kix?! I thought I knew you!"

Pretty much anything in italics is quote. Ask me if you'd like a source.
Without faith, without poetry, without music, medicine is pointless, for why save a life which is not special, and why dedicate so much effort to a cosmic accident? It would be worse than pointless, it would be cruel.

the other day I heard an internist yell at a resident: "did you not realize he looked like an elephant, get the man some compression stockings"
Haha! Awesome. A bit heartless though...
