Who was that masked man? And where’s my Rolex?

Hello, police? I need to report a robbery. My department store was robbed today. They took a bunch of wristwatches from our jewelry department.

Did I get a look at the thieves? You bet! They were wearing surgical masks.

What? Did I notice every person on the street today? Now that you mention it, they WERE all wearing surgical masks!  Oh, right - the flu.

So you can’t DO anyhing? What do you mean it could could get worse?

Readers, we take you now to the operating wing of a posh plastic surgery practice.

“Doctor, you’ve got a busy schedule today. Here are your sharp scalpels and your anesthetic.

“I don’t mean to second-guess you, doctor, but are you SURE that patient wants an ear put where her nose should be?

“Doctor! I’ve never seen REVERSE liposuction! How much fat are you going to pump into that skinny model?

“Well look who’s here! Welcome home, Dr. Hayek! Do you need to scrub? I see you already have a mask…”

I tell you what, those people wearing the surgical mask the right way need to show that silly doctor how to wear his! What was he thinking, putting it over his mouth and his nose?
