Why Women Hate Physicals


A woman goes to the doctor for her yearly physical.
The nurse starts with certain basic items.
"How much do you weigh?" she asks.
"115," she says.
The nurse puts her on the scale.
It turns out her weight is 140.

The nurse asks, "Your height?"
"5 foot 8," she says.
The nurse checks and sees that she only measures 5' 5".

She then takes her blood pressure
and tells the woman it is very high.
"Of course it's high!" she screams,
"When I came in here I was tall and slender!
Now I'm short and fat!"

good one!

5'5" and 140 punds is not short and fat. It's normal, average and healthy.

5'8" and 115 is underweight and not natural.

It was a joke. And sorry I am 5"5" and weigh around 125. If I was 140 pounds I would be overweight. YEs according to BMI it is normal, but there are a lot of other factors to consider.

I was just going to say the exact same thing.

I know it was a joke, but it is a bit offensive, IMHO.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Seriously, offensive???

 

[disneymama73]

Obviously, it was a joke. But 140 is not fat. It is a normal weight for a woman who is 5'5" tall.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

I know on me 140 would not be normal. I would be fat unless somehow I gained nearly 20 pounds of MUSCLE.

I just got to laugh because I'm due for my yearly exam.

I guess it just depends on what you're comfortable with.

Sorry, my sister almost died from anorexia. It's a little hard to hear people say 140 lbs is "fat." Some things just lose their humor.

Not fighting with you, btw. I'm very non-confrontational.

Thanks for the laugh!!


And I am also 5'5" and 140 is heavy on my frame ( I know because I've been there and I looked HEAVY) Thankfully I have lost 15 and look much better at 125 - Now my SIL is shorter then me 5'3" and she looks great at 140 - it all depends on your build.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Sorry to hear about your sister's struggle. I had my own struggle with Bulimia. It is a control issue not a weight issue. I handle my control issues differently now through exercise, healthy eating, etc. And yes I would be uncomfortable at 140 pounds.

Anyway, my apologies to the OP. Sorry to add to the derailment of your joke.

Lighten up.

I'm sorry for your struggle, too. I'm glad you have it under control now.

This did make me laugh! I have a Drs. appointment in Oct. I think I'll add about 20 pounds to what I think I weigh and take off a few inches from my height. This way I'll feel so happy when the nurse tells me my "real" stats .
