Why do I want to be a physician?

Well, it's rather complicated... You see, there is this parking garage at the hospital I volunteer at, and it's very interesting how it's built. When you enter you can make a left (all employee parking) or you can go straight (Physician only parking). I've never went straight before, and I wan't to go straight.

How far would this get me in an interview if I said just kidding right after.

I don't think you're trolling judging from your past posts...

So I'm assuming you're trying to be humorous with your personal statement. Don't be risky.

Your application essentially serves as a resume, and your personal statement like a cover letter that highlights your desirable qualifications. Treat it as such.
My old professional composition professor used to say that your creativity should show in the details/evidence you choose... not in the way you write; leave that for creative writing exercises in your diary.

Any physician interviewer would totally connect with your invocation of the sweetness of getting to park near the hospital door. For all others, omit.

j/k: Play it straight.

The bottom of the reject pile, hopefully.

Like a slightly altered line from the Legally Blonde musical says:

"Medical school is for ugly, boring, serious people."

No jokes, all business. Save the jokes for when you are going out with your future classmates.

I would do everything in my power to make sure you're not ranked the school im affiliated with and any adjacent school because the answer is that bad.
