Marriage: The good, the bad, and the artistic

A while back I wrote about the strange things that show up on my patient info forms about marital status.

We've recently had a few more, which I thought I'd share with you.

First we have the cutesy "smiley face"





Of course, you don't have to be married to have the happy face.





I can only assume that in both of the above cases the spouse/boyfriend doesn't have a nose.


This one is devoted to whatever he is, whether it's single, married, or other.





On the opposite side, we have this guy





And, finally, this lady.

    When I fill out a form that allows a free text answer instead of check boxes for "Race", I always put,
    Triathlon, or Ironman, since that IS, my race... ;)
    Sometimes the clerical staff doesn't understand....

    Heh. I have a friend who when given male/female boxes to tick draws in and ticks a box for 'Other'.

    How about 'existing in a quantum state of being both married and unmarried'.
