'Morning!' said the guy, noticing him. 'Just here for my check-up.' The driver smiled, shaking his head. 'Next time, could you maybe wear pants?'

2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Northwest Surgery Center and noticed something unusual hanging from one of the trees.

The next morning, everyone in town knew why the scrubs were hanging from that tree—because someone needed a good laugh.

The next morning, when everyone asked what caused the late-night commotion, the doctor explained it was just a ‘routine procedure’.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Northwest Surgery Center and heard an ominous voice over the intercom: ‘Attention all staff—please report to the operating room immediately.’ Curious, he rushed inside only to find the OR empty except for a note on the table: 'Next time use elevator, stairs out.' Relieved but embarrassed, he sheepishly walked back to his truck, realizing it was just another late-night prank from a neighbor.
