Pomme d'terror
Kind of a triple joke since pomme de terre (earth apple) is a potato, I like it.
I was gonna say I'm starting to confuse myself about pommes frites.
Yeah OK I'll bite.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away"
Doctor in Front: Everyone stay behind me. I'm a doctor of art history. It's finally my time to shine.
Dr of art history with a stethoscope
That's how they hear the art
David Attenborough voice “When threatened, the M.D.s will huddle for safety in an attempt to look bigger and more dangerous. To make their escape they will identify the youngest in the heard and separate them from the group to distract their predators as the rest escape. It’s a cruel but effective strategy, ensuring the heard will live on to replenish their numbers. They understand, without hesitation, that survival in the unforgiving wild sometimes requires sacrifice.”
"STOP THROWING APPLES AT US! WE HAVE PhDs!"
*Lives on PhD salaries
"Guys! That dude has food. Get him!"
An apple in the hand makes the nurses scared
Much like a claymore, the apple is a directional munition. The stem goes towards the doctors; the user should always see the apple anus. New users can remember this with the phrase, "Kiss their ass goodbye."
An apple in the hand is worth 4 doctors and 2 curious onlookers in a hospital?
Gotta catch em all
Why must we wear these ridiculous ties?
He's not wearing any pants
Edit:
I'm not an apple bottom girl, I'm your PCP!
Shorty got them apple bottom jeans
Doctors fear the apple man
Eris up to new shit
Put this on your head and I'll shoot it off, it'll be funny!
Hit a doctor with a facking apple in the face and they'll run away from you.
Gods of death love apples
This
I haven’t had an apple since I got my doctorate
I just learned somewhere on YouTube that this saying originated because apples were thought to ward off or cure gonerea.
