doctor doctor

Doctor, doctor jokes are very old - not just in content, but as a type too. Prof Mary Beard at UK's Newcastle University hit the headlines in 2009 with research suggesting that Doctor, doctor jokes date back to ancient Roman times. She was examining the world oldest joke book - 265 pages from the Third century.

My own interest dates only from back in 1996, when at Ultralab I had a project engaging doctors - surgeons of thoracic medicine - in an online community of practice. It was effective and we learned a lot. A number of folk were involved - Andy Simpson did a lot of the work in the end.

But although the project was enjoyable, the surgeons got a bit down - so many of their patients die - and they wanted cheering up. So with them I set up a page on Jollyology to swap doctor doctor jokes in a spoof research project (they contributed, were "published", peer reviewed and could then add DJ - doctor of jollyology - to their names!).

Great fun, I've tried to remember their best contributions below (mail me others), but now use the jollyology domain as a link to work on Playful Learning, which I believe to be important.

Anyway - here are a good number of Doctor, doctor jokes:
