A friend just sent me a joke that I've modified a bit to fit our situation.
During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not a person with Lyme disease should be put in the hospital for treatment?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

I don't know what this means...but I didn't put myself in the story to guess any answer. Hmmmmm. I did laugh, thought it was funny. Got my endorfun fix before bed, hopefully it doesn't keep me awake.
Tomorrow a new joke?!!! Laughter does good like medicine.

A man who had stopped to overnight in a camp ground on his way home from vacation called 911 and asked for an ambulance to come help his wife who was ready to give birth.
The 911 emergency operator said she would send someone out immediately and asked the man the address where he was located.
He replied, "I am in Aspen State Park. We have a medium sized RV parked in the campground on Eucalyptus Avenue."
The 911 operator said, "can you spell that for me sir?"
The man thought for a moment and started to spell it- "e-u-c-o, no, wait, e-u-c-k-l-i, no, wait... hmmmmm?"
"OK! I've got it! It is spelled O-A-K."
"But sir", said the operator, "I thought you said you were on Eucalyptus Avenue?"
"I am, but I'll just drag my wife over to the next avenue and you can pick her up there."

Bucket here too - guess most of us end up in that ward...
Here's one:
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went camping (no, no bad ticks in those days). Later on in the evening, Holmes woke Watson up out of a deep sleep and asked him to look up and describe what was happening.
"I see stars," said Dr Watson, "Lots and lots of them. But they're not really as close as they seem.
They're really very far away, like light years away, and the light we're seeing started traveling a long time ago -
So this is not present light, but very old light, and the further away the stars are, the longer the light has traveled..."
"My dear Watson," interrupted Holmes. "You fool - someone stole our tent."
