- Nursing needs YOU – caption comp.
We’re overdue for another caption competition, so for this one lets revisit but oldie-but-a-goodie story. The male nurse action figure that you can buy online.
The advertising blurb reads:
Armed with a stethoscope and a clipboard holding an X-ray, this 5-1/4″ (13.3 cm) tall, hard vinyl Male Nurse Action Figure is ready to treat your symptoms and fix what ails you. Male nurses make up six percent of the nurses in the United States and only slightly more in Australia and the UK, but this number is growing. These men are blazing the trail as role models and mentors for generations to come. Thank a male nurse today!
What is our action figure saying? As usual, caption entries should be entered in the comments box (one caption per comment, if you do multiple suggestions, do multiple comments as well so it doesn’t cock up the voting). Click on the thumbs-up icon to vote for a caption as being WIN and not FAIL. The caption with the most suggestions by Monday will be declared the winner.
One from me to start things off:
“What do you mean, I’m not as hard as GI Joe?”
“….Well yes, this was a very tricky design job, and we had to make some compromises. The design team decided not to give him genitals in the interests of decency, but to keep him true to life we had to gave him an anus so that he could be shafted by all and sundry.”
Hey, where’s the fob watch? Murses shouldn’t wear wristwatches. HAI’s FFS! This is exactly WHY men should not be nurses.
I feel the need to write to the Daily Mail!
I’m intrigued by the stethoscope. Seems more doctory than nursey (if you’ll forgive the term). I was going to make a vague point about gender and power in the nurse/doctor relationship but I can’t actually be arsed now…
Anyway, I’m pretty sure I can’t beat Jans caption…
New, improved Male Nurse Action Doll now speaks three phrases. Press his tummy to hear him say
“Student nurses these days are crap. Not like the students of yesterday. They can’t even arrange flowers properly. I learnt all I needed to know from the Sick Berth Attendants Handbook published in 1654″
“Managers these days are crap. Not like the ward sisters of yesterday. Back then, she ran everything with a rod of iron and God forbid you had the pillow cases the wrong way round or you’d be shot at dawn”
“The government these days is crap. Not like the government of yesterday. Back then, you knew where you stood. In the dole queue”
“Unlike Action Man, Action Nurse doesn’t have ‘gripping hands’ or ‘eagle eyes’, neither of which are indicative of a fully trained, hands on nurse ”
Z is there a Mental Nurse version ? If so what does he look like ?
Oliver Reed to Star in stage version of Mental Nurse.
Male Nurse Action Doll: Now with opposable thumbs!
“what d’ya mean – you’d prefer the robot nurse?”
Yes Serotonin, there is indeed a Mental Nurse version. Instead of scrubs he’s wearing slacks and a lumberjack shirt, and instead of the stethoscope and x-ray he’s carrying a pool cue and the keys to the ward.
Ha I like that idea Z ! In that case he should have his own lockable office & utter those imortal word “Be with you in 5 minutes !!”.
“Soon to available in ‘Mental Nurse’ version, complete with:
*realistic slouch
*hunted look
*SUI radar
*Hobnob crumbs around the mouth”
His posture makes him look like Herman Munster.
“Er.. guys? These trousers are too tight and I can’t move!”
“No, they’re not bolts either side of my neck, that’s where I hang the stethoscope”
“Daily visits to the gym to get these pumped up biceps, e-learning to become an advanced nurse practitioner so I can wear a stethascope, and now they change the uniform policy to ‘white’ plimsols making me look more gay than ever. Sigh.”
