    1. A man walks into his doctor's office with a large, painful lump under his armpit. In a slight panic, the man asks the doctor if there's any way he can help by informing him of what the massive growth is.

      The doctor looks carefully and slightly questioning his diagnosis says, "A cyst?"

      "Right", says the man, "I'd love to know what the hell this thing is and if you can help me with it".

  5. Today's Facebook post:

    Did you know that the week of May 1-7th has been designated as International Amphibian Week?? The aim is to bring awareness to these amazing creatures and their plight as they face habitat loss, pollution, disease, and ultimately species' decline.

    Amphibians include frogs, caecilians, and salamanders. They are fascinating, beautiful, diverse, and have important roles in their ecosystems. Take some time to educate yourself about these incredible creatures! #JungleDragon #amphibianweek2022 #amphibianweek
