  For more than 25 years, there’s always been a home in Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader for those stories about doctor visits or routine surgeries gone horribly wrong--the wrong limb getting amputated, the wrong person getting a transplant, the nurse who didn’t notice her patient had died…for three days. Because we never get tired of reading about big boo-boos (as long as they’re happening to someone else), here is a whole book of the troubling and funny stories of when good health care goes bad. Read all about:* The woman who needed her gall bladder out…so she removed it herself* The man who waited in an emergency room…for three weeks* The heart surgeon who got caught drawing his signature on his work* And many more stories of dreadful doctors, hospital horrors, and bad medicine.

  Agents & Patients - A Novel

  Anthony Powell

  A wealthy Londoner falls victim to conmen on a journey through interwar Europe in this early novel by the celebrated author (New York Times). 
   
  Unsavory artists, aristocratic nitwits, and charlatans with an affinity for Freud—such are the oddballs who animate the early novels of Anthony Powell. A genius of social satire and dry wit, Powell built his comedies on the foibles of British high society between the wars. These slim yet vastly entertaining novels reveal the early stirrings of the unequaled style, ear for dialogue, and eye for irony that would reach their caustic peak in Powell’s epic A Dance to the Music of Time. 
   
  First published in 1936, Agents and Patients chronicles the exploits of the memorably named Blore-Smith, a decent enough chap with more money than sense. Feeling that his life has grown dull, he finds adventure in the company of two con artists—one an aspiring filmmaker, the other a would-be psychoanalyst. Their elaborate ploys bring Blore-Smith to the art galleries and whorehouses of Paris, Berlin, and beyond. Filled with eccentric characters and piercing insights, Powell’s work is achingly hilarious, human, and true.

  Even though they often make you cringe, you really can't help but smile at your dad's ridiculous attempts to make you laugh, because you know that each corny joke is shared with love, and no one on earth can deliver them to you quite like him. 
    
  They're funny because they're so corny and you're not even sure whether to laugh or grimace. But what really sells them is a dad's delivery. 
    
  The way they smile a little too wide when they set up the joke: "What do you call a cow with two legs?" You already know what's coming, but your dad's face is filled with so much childish joy, you just have to brace yourself. "Lean beef. And if the cow has no legs, then it's ground beef," he says, and bursts into thunderous laughter before you can even react. 
    
  His enjoyment brings the dad joke to another level of cheesy goodness. 
    
  Our collection of the best dad jokes and corny dad jokes will have both of you chuckling to yourselves. 
    
  So make sure to get them for your dad. 
    
  We promise it'll make you both very glad.
