In order to give all of us here a break from exam fever....here is a nice selection from our school's "Vetlogue" - a semesterly collection of funny quotes from teachers and students. I think we all need a little laughter right now😀

Random ones:

"Do you know what saying "no alfafa" does to a quarter horse breeder? It's like saying "no crack" to a crack addict"

"This dog swallowed one, two, three balls! I guess he liked the taste of balls"

"100% of you got Question 2 correct, so we'll be throwing that out next semester..."

"If Rose Bengal dye gets on your clothes, it doesn't come out. You just have to live with it, like herpes"

"Yep, you gotta hobble that mare for breeding. Shut up and take it, lady. The vet says you're ready, so you're ready!"

Some Pathology quotes:

"If one of the fetuses falls into the uterine tosion, it gets mummified. These are cool beyond words and make GREAT paperweights. My nephew's third grade teacher eventually told me not to send anymore. I'm a fun uncle!!"

"You have one uterine horn here, and one here, which looks like it is full of pistachio icecream...but that is simply not true. That is pus. And that is disgusting."

"This is actually one of the top ten "cool" lesions in veterinary medicine, because anything that comes out of a dog's abdomen and looks like grapes is pretty cool."

"One of the most heartwrenching cases was when there was this 8 year old kid throwing a ball for his Golden Retreiver and it dropped dead. Now you've got a kid who thinks he killed his dog....to an extent, he did, but I didn't say that."

"I'd like to start at the mouth and work my way to the anus"

"And the little pig went wee wee wee...all the way to necropsy."

"Let's have a moment of silence please. This is the Catherine Zeta-Jones of lymph nodes."

Clinical Nutrition:

"You walk into a show ring full of beef heifers and you think - what are these mud fat infertile sluts DOING here??"

"We're goin up the poop chute!" (during rectal palpations)
 
"100% of you got Question 2 correct, so we'll be throwing that out next semester..."

Sounds like our anatomy teacher. He's never said anything like this, but he likes to make things difficult. Kind of sad that they feel they need to make things harder when we succeed. Great thread though
 
Awesome! The more funny posts the better.

I think I'm going to start a thread for this...🙂

Some random vet's office quotes:

On a slow day:
Tech (to a dog): you are so cute. I love you.
VMD (outraged): You don't even know that dog!

As I'm holding down a struggling/very very unhappy JRT for an abdominal ultrasound:
Me: what are you looking for anyway?
VMD: oh, nothing, just f***ing around.

That's all I can remember right now, but when I was in high school my friends and I wrote these down all the time. They were hysterical.
 
Well not a veterinarian or vet student (though hopefully I will be soon...) but does it matter where the humor comes from?

In the clinic I'm working at I'm standing in one of our exam rooms looking at a heart in a jar (that's been cracked open by heart worms none the less!), trying to identify the chambers/muscles/valves/etc. and our receptionist leads a client and her children into the room. The little boy goes "COOL!!" and I take that moment to start out on why heart worm prevention is so important but the mother cuts me off:
Her: Surely that's not real?
Me: It is. Though this is a very advanced case.
Her: Oh my God! Is...is the dog ok??
Both: *dumb founded*
Me: *...and tempted to say yes.*
 
I worked at a fairly rural clinic and some of my co-workers were a little bit on the rural side as well. The vet that I worked with, however, was not. One of her big pet peeves was people calling vaccines "shots." One of the other techs constantly did this, though.

Anyway one day she was on the phone with said tech, and I only heard one side of the conversation but one line just made me start laughing and I wasn't able to stop for a good long time. She's on the phone, having a normal conversation and all of a sudden, completely deadpan...."you shot the dog??" I don't know why but I just couldn't stop laughing.

Also once in the exam room the same vet was talking about ceph and said "cexalephin" by accident and i had to leave the room (sound it out).
