Compare residency to Grey's Anatomy, and comment on how amazingly accurate the show is, what with the extramarital affairs and constant call-room sex,and so it really wouldn't be his fault if he ends up cheating. Then call him Dr. McStumpy.

Also, the old surgery saying of "eat when you can, sleep when you can, pee when you can, study when you can" applies to marriage as well, but the verb is a little sexier.

Ok from the female perspective I have to assume the part about joking about infidelity in the speech is in and of itself a joke. It's one of the worst ideas I've ever heard and likely it will offend your soon to be sister in law and likely other attendees. Off color humor brother to brother is the norm and expected at the times of course but it is in extremely poor taste to make light of infidelity in a wedding toast. The second paragraph is a much better idea and you can't go wrong with the stereotypical "my uglyass brother really did well yada yada gorgeous bride yada welcome to the family new sister yada hope she has some cute single friends."

Hense the joke.




Here's another good idea: Mention that unlike marriage, you luckily get 4 days off a month in residency. Maybe bring up Duke Surgery and their infamous 110% divorce rate.

Finally, state that your brother shouldn't be surprised if he catches you darting out the back door in your underwear on some post-call morning. After all, he is basically married to his job and the lady has needs.




Are those jokes more obvious? Or do you still think I'm serious?
