What the heck does this mean??!
Question: Someone posted this and half the people got, I was part of the half that didn't. I asked him to explain it but he didn't. Some people thought it was hilarious, can anyone possibly explain this to me? I didn't think I was THAT stupid, you know? ;)
"Observations about Exercise?
I have a "shoulder impingement" and getting physical therapy for
that. The therapist gave me exercises, too.
"Have you been doing the exercises?" he asks.
"Yes. Religiously. Every time I start a set I start with 'Oh God!'"
Then they tried electrical stimulation of the shoulder. I think its
called a tens unit. So she puts the patches on, starts the machine and
asks me to tell her when I feel a tingle. Just as that starts I say
"OK. I can feel it. Say, is this going to interfere with my
pacemaker?" [Note: I don't have a pacemaker] Well, its only fair.
She stimulated blood flow to my shoulder, and I stimulated blood flow to
her heart."

I guess he's just making a joke about his pace maker. The electrical stimulator might cause it to stop (if he had one) and kill him.
So the joke is that he scared her by saying that which is what he means by "I stimulated blood flow to her heart".
I get it, but I don't find it all that hilarious. It's only mildly amusing.
It's exactly like this one:
There was a maid who worked for a very strict man and one day he came to her and stated that he wanted her to paint the stairwell. That was her whole job for that day she was to do nothing else.
When he came home after working a full day he noticed that she had managed to only paint one stair so he said: "What is your problem??? I give you eight hours and all you do is paint one stair??? Do you have an explanation for yourself???"
And her reply was: "What do I look like? A mermaid???"
it's a paradox
just one of those "not funny" jokes.
