It’s pretty much understood that as patients we’re covered against negligence should we receive treatment from doctors and nurses in hospital. Any ‘normal’ person attempting to perform First Aid should be aware that if they administer the ‘wrong’ treatment, they could potentially face a lawsuit, even if they were attempting to save someone’s life. However, this weekend I faced the most surreal situation, when someone threatened to sue me because I wasn’t a nurse…

Most people know that it is a criminal offence to impersonate a police officer. There are even more obvious dangers posed by those who impersonate members of the medical profession. However, when it comes to theatre, there is room for a little artistic license.

It seemed obvious that on a bright sunny day, five women wondering round pavement cafes, wearing candy-floss pink nurses uniforms and waving (pink) feather dusters, wouldn’t possibly be seen as ‘real’ medics. If there was any doubt about our status, the fact that we administered a range of ‘treatments’ from dire ‘bloke jokes’ to candy love heart ‘medicine’, should have made the performance aspect clear. We were acting.

Therefore, I was left speechless after a vitriolic verbal attack for failing to be a ‘real’ nurse. Someone overdid it; drank too much in the sunshine, didn’t want to leave her café seat, nor would she pay for her drinks. Eventually, the police were called to remove the gin sozzled woman, we saw them departing as we came to the end of a long day performing. We didn’t expect what came next.

“You should be ashamed of yourselves”, said a rather threatening bloke sporting a mono-brow.

We were confused to say the least.

“You could have stopped all this, it’s ruined my day. If you’d done your job, this never would have happened”

We tried to explain the obvious – that we were not really nurses.

“Don’t give me that,’ he replied, ‘I’ve got good grounds to sue you.”

We put it down to too much beer in the sun and hoped he’d go away, leave us to enjoy a well-earned glass of wine. But it didn’t stop there. He enlisted the help of a waitress, and told her that we hadn’t acted professionally. For some reason, she believed him, decided that we had some connection to the drunken lady and were asked to leave, amidst further threats of suing us for negligence...

Sometime later, as we sat down to free cocktails with an unmitigated apology from the bar manager, our talk turned to concerns about public liability insurance. Clearly, there were many gaps in our knowledge of quantifying ‘risk’ – not to others, but to ourselves.

With all of these different things bringing us down we want to have something that will serve to raise our spirits and make everything good again. One of the greatest ways that we have the ability to do this is through the fun of hearing and sharing jokes. For numerous people this seems like quite a trivial answer - but I believe that it is one of the best things that we could ever do.

Jokes have been in existence for many years and it is unclear as to who made the first one. Regrettably historians do not constantly thing that it is important enough to know how, when, and who came up with the first one. But what we do acknowledge is they serve each and every one of us to laugh.

Laughing is one of the greatest things that we have the ability to do - but only when that laughter is pure and truly occurs from the heart. There are times when we laugh without actually understanding what people are talking about so we will feel involved. Other times we are laughing at someone - but this is not harmonious laughter. This is something that can wound individuals.

Harmonious laughter is when we see or hear something that makes us laugh when we are feeling sad. Sometimes we have the ability to get stupid jokes that are so hilarious that we begin to cry from how hard it makes us laugh. These are the ones that we send to others in the hopes that it will brighten their day also.

Well, the current is part of the answer. The other side is experience and practice. A script writer who has written for a multitude of top comedy stand-up folk informed me that it was exciting how the sharp comedians got funnier as time passed by. How? By practicing their act - their trade - such as anyone else gets to be an expert whether it be participating in golf tournaments or laying bricks.

Get a professional look

But to give your act a boost with a specialized look, you need to learn about comedy stand up, and the best way is to get comedy stand guarantee for success. The advantage of this method is that you can practice in your home - preferably somewhere that you won't be disturbed at first. Here are two more useful tips:

Always practice in front of a mirror, so you can see what impression you give;

Always tape it so you can hear it; better tape it on video so you can see what you are like later.

But just as you are get your act together, you will would like an audience, and you would desire them to heckle and make life difficult for you a few times. Better right here than when you later walk out onto the stage.

Humor may be difficult to define, but we all know that when we feel that something funny is coming, it is even funnier when it actually happens than if we were not given a while to see ahead.

There have always been demands to make condoms acceptable. That is due in part to rapid population growth especially in nations that are impoverished due to lack of resources and education. Condoms are known and are proven to be among the best tools and measures to help advance safe sex and curtail the transfer and dissemination of herpes, gonorrhea, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Condoms are wonderful inventions. Historians have it that before the modern condoms surfaced, there were several other types of condoms that became popular. Among those ancient condoms are those made out of modified and softened horns, shells and animal intestines. When the rubber latex was used initially in the manufacturing of condoms, other practical uses arose. Being creative, you surely would be able to devise other uses of condoms other than those intended for safe sex. Here are some of those funny, yet practical condom uses.

- During times of emergency situations for survival, did you know that condoms can be used to hold or store water? Condoms are like balloons that can carry galloons of waters each. There is a need to be very careful in handling water-filled condoms, however.
- A microphone to be used for an underwater recording could be put inside a condom. This would make the microphone water-proof. The technique has already been in use in the recording industry. In fact, many recording studios and stage performers buy our Durex Natural Feeling Non-lubricated condoms wholesale to protect their microphones during transit and storage.
- When there are soil examinations, condoms would be used to store soil samples. Doing so would help prevent the sample from becoming unnecessarily moist. Such a practice also makes soil sample collection easier especially when storage factors are considered. The condom helps with protection from the elements.
- Let’s not forget water balloon fights. If your roommate or friend tries to stage a surprise ambush on you, and you don’t have any balloon ammunition, reaching into your nightstand and using a few condoms as emergency backup can be extremely handy.
- Unfortunately, many smugglers think they can use condoms to smuggle goods. How do they do that? Well, the goods would be placed inside a condom before being sealed by tying the knot. The condoms are then typically swallowed and carried internally. This practice is prevalent for smugglers crossing territorial borders. However, the technique is extremely dangerous and deadly. If ever the condom would break or tear apart inside the body, the smuggler could instantly die of a possible deadly drug overdose.
- In South Africa, travelers wear condoms so that when they immerse into the water, they would not be attacked by candiru. Candiru are very small catfish varieties that are attracted very much to urine and blood. When travelers use condoms, the very small catfish types would not be able to sense the urine and get inside the body to get to the urethra.

There are many other creative and practical uses of condoms in contemporary society – another reminder that as condoms become a mainstream part of our culture, they are integrated into our lifestyle in any way that they can provide utility. Be reminded however, never to use used condoms when having safe sex.

Traveling over the river and through the woods accurately describes going to my Grandma’s house this particular year. I was 9 years old and Christmas held every promise in the world for me. After 10 hours in the car with 3 other siblings, I was ready to get out and enjoy the wintry scene laid before me at my Grandparents house.
As I entered the house, the smell of cookies and bread met my nose. Nothing beats the aroma of homemade goods…especially Grandma’s. The dining room table is what caught my eye though that day. Set up for us kids were ruby red, emerald green and crystal beads. Grandma explained that she wanted to teach us how to make Christmas ornaments for the tree. Any time with Grandma was deeply “treasured” time, and I desperately wanted to get started.

For hours Grandma sat with me and my siblings and helped us thread beads onto our wire. We made candy canes, stars, bells, etc. Every single ornament was uniquely designed by our own hand. When we finally finished our task, we placed the ornaments on the Christmas tree and hit the lights. I still can picture those little ornaments to this day. The colored light that burst through the beads was nothing short of magical.

We didn’t have many material possessions that Christmas, but it didn’t matter. We had a Grandma who cared enough to spend quality time with us. As I sit with my own two sons now and reflect on that winter day so long ago, I can’t help but want to try a little harder. Taking time for crafting with kids, teaching them to use their hands and imaginations is invaluable. Showing them how to invent and create different crafts and projects will help in their development. Life has seemed to speed up a bit and it’s hard to get away from those every day distractions that face us. For me, it’s time to get back to the basics. It’s time to give my kids their own memories to smile fondly upon in years to come.

Being a kid's magician is different from close up magic or sleight of hand - it is closer to the stage magic with visual illusions that hold the audience's attention. When planning to be your kid's magician it is important to keep in mind that kids have an attention span, thus you have to keep them laughing by using visual props (like magic wands, colorful tricks and so on), funny jokes and audience participation. Magic illusions must be varied, exciting and entertaining for all children.

Tricks that you choose for magic a show are vital; you must pick tricks for kids that are appropriate for their gender and age. Before you perform any kids magician show watch a children television show and observe how presenters act. They laugh, smile and appear to be having fun themselves; it is a very significant part of being very successful! Try to remember some of the character's names; you can rename your pet for example.
To be successful and popular kids magicians you have to enjoy performing good magic, kids will know that you are enjoying it, your positive feelings may help to make kids enjoy your magic show and there is nothing worse to watch magic performed by any bored kids magician!

Improve your options of repeat performances by awarding the children with prizes. A skillfully made balloon model is good but when it pops you are forgotten. If you can afford a few promotional products with your contact details to offer the kids along with balloon then parents will have one way to call you for their kid's next party.

Me and about 7 friends decided to buy tickets to the tiki boat booze cruz. The tiki Boat is an all you can drink for $35, 3 hour tour of debauchery. I had never been on it before but I have heard great stories. Most of these stories had girls in them and that was fine with me.

All seven of us piled in one truck and made our way down to the pier where the boat was set to leave shore around 7PM. We of course thought it was a good idea to have a few pre-cruz brews to take the edge off, so we were already buzzed by shove off. The boat was much smaller than I had imagined, probably only 28 ft long and two stories. There were people already in line to get on the little dingy, including lots of girls. Most people were dressed down wearing tee shirts and shorts not Halloween costumes. This was fine with me since I had only put on a funny tee I got on-line a brownturtle.

After a few minutes of waiting for take off the boat pulled away from the dock and began its 3 hour booze cruz. We all immediately started slamming multiple beers and an occasional mixed drink. We made our way down to the first level where there was a dance floor in the center. To my amazement there were about 7 beautiful blond girls holding hands, dancing and yelling. We all immediately stumbled our way towards them. After some slurred conversation it became apparent that these girls were from out of town, way out.
They were from Sweden, and they were all nannies. I guess there is a ton of hot nannies in Orange County here to baby-sit rich people’s kids.

My cousin Biff, who was the most drunk, by far, seemed to hit it off with one of the nannies. The rest of us had not gotten anywhere and were now reduced to watching Biff make an ass out of himself. He was doing that dancing and talking at the same time dork march, you’ve seen it before. I could not believe it but his nannie was really into him and totally on his routine. As the boat started to pull back up to the dock Biff decided to make a move to close the deal. He went in for the kiss and nannie girl obliged him with a wet one back. We all looked on and yelled in approval. All of a sudden she pulled away and revealed a spray of green puke. It spilled out of her and his mouth, mostly his.
He had puked inside her mouth in mid-kiss. Wow this was the most badass thing I had ever seen.
Now I knew it was my duty to make her feel everything would be ok. Biff was my guy and I never leave my wingman. I took the nannie in my arms and offer her a clean drink to wash out the fresh puke. Her friends thought the tender move was sweet and decided it was ok and everyone started laughing. Since the nannie was covered in projectile, I offer her my funny tee shirt in exchange for their numbers. She offer one better and invited all of us to their mansion were they were house sitting for the summer.
I immediately gave up my trusty tee shirt and gave it to the nannie.
