Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for July 26, 2022

Just give it a nip and a tuck.

Take it over to the hospital’s “Lost and Found”.

Just cram it in there. Let it find its own way home.

Looks like a heart…or maybe a kidney…maybe a bladder…they’re all in ther somewhere, but I failed anatomy.

You should watch them trying to get all the intestines back in…let’s just say it puts me in mind of trying to repack your suitcase after a holiday, you know how as fast as you put the last thing in another item boings back out…?

If he wakes up after surgery, he doesn’t need it.

There’s a good market for parts.

Maybe it goes where you left the sponge.

After a repair with parts left over and it still works, well that’s what the hell-drawer is for.

Offal is great for stew.  Just sayin’.

That “piece” doesn’t look like (it should be) a leftover.

Google it.

Just like that Ikea furniture I tried to assemble.

Whatever the organ is, I’m sure the patient needs it!

…and has anyone seen my watch?

Jigsaw puzzles … auto repair … major surgery …

And that’s why IKEA stopped printing surgery instructions.

’Em are parts and parts is parts.

Every time I worked on my car … .

Welcome to Saint Elsewhere…

Reminds me of an old friend of mine who used to do his own carburetor rebuilds back in the 70s on a 1950s car, always had at least one or two small pieces left over…yet somehow the car continued to run fairly well. RIP, Sparky.

But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man

That he didn’t, didn’t already have

Old joke

Reminds me of the fun you can have with someone who is working on fixing a device. When they’re not looking put a capacitor or resistor on the bench and watch when they are closing it up.

Reminds me of the Henry Ford Medical System. Or as I like to call it the “Model T of Health Care”.
