George,

 GP> A lot of hospitals use those color codes (code red is less alarming
 GP> than saying, on the PA "We have a fire")
 GP> Code Brown is the lower seniority nurses'; equivalent to "cleanup on
 GP> aisle 5" *G*

  They had both in my hospital stay, and two code blues.

 GP> Too many patients have caught on to the code red, so one hospital I was
 GP> in used "Paging Mister Red to the Cafeteria" meant a fire in the
 GP> cafeteria. .

  There's a book "Why Do Men Have Nipples??", and it had the explanation
in it. I don't know what happened the copy I have...but I'm sure you can
find the list on the internet.

 GP> I caught on & casually asked a nurse, "Is that fire going to affect
 GP> when we get lunch?"; she made some calls & told me that it was a mound
 GP> of paper deliberately lit on a back table - the kitchen was unaffected.

  Some folks just want to cause trouble.

 GP>  Then she asked who told me the code red meaning, as it had just been
 GP> begun & all nurses were sworn to secrecy.  Eventually I convinced her
 GP> of the truth -- I'm a smart feller(fart smeller) & figured it out all
 GP> by my little brain-damaged self!

  If you can smell the fart, you're too close for social distancing. :P

 GP> I've always joked with medical staff, but never lied to them.

  I told 2 nurses the joke about where the husband brought his wife to
the hospital, as she was in labor. They got her in, and the doctor said
they had a new procedure to transfer all the pain from the expectant
mother to the father. Well, Mom was all for that, and since Dad had a
high pain tolerance, he was game for it. 

  Well, the doctor starts it slow, then ramps it up, bit by bit, until
it's maxed out. Mom has no pain, Dad has no pain, and she delivers a
nice healthy 8 pound boy. When they got home, the milkman was found
dead on the front porch. 

  The 2 nurses just roared with laughter. :)

 GP> My Kindergartener's favorite joke:
 GP> "What's green and has four legs and would realy hurt you if it fell out
 GP> of a tree?"
 GP> --A pool table

  Never mind 2 balls in the side pocket. :P

 GP> Q: Whats blue and smells like red paint?
 GP> A: Blue paint.

  The worst thing in the screen print shop isn't the fumes...it's the fire
hazard.

 GP> Guy goes into the doctor's office for an ear infection. The loud-first-
 GP> sergeant-type nurse shuffles him to a cubicle and tells hime to take
 GP> off ALL clothes and put on the stupid paper examination gown.

 GP> Sitting there freezing, he starts grousing out loud about having to sit
 GP> there naked for a stupid ear infection when he hears a voice from over
 GP> the top of the wall "Hey--don't feel bad. I just came in here to fix
 GP> the telephones."

  Never mind, number please. :P

 GP> Sadly, got nothing that day, or at all, while in the hospital *sniff*

  They are "blind" to the nudity.
