THIS IS A KICKER — YOU WILL NEED THIS INFO IN A MINUTE
Doctor Funny Humpday Checkup
August 3, 2022
Happy Wednesday, Interns!
Since you’ve all had your vacays — I can only assume, since nothing is in the queue — you must have plenty of time to think up new and exciting content for your favorite pub starting with Doctor and ending with Funny.
This week you are getting schooled. Not scolded as many of you have asked for, schooled. Get out your abacus and follow along.
Kickers 101
Kickers are the new black. Everyone is using them and they are slimming. Please make sure to add one when you’re sending your word babies into surgery. If you don’t and it is Doc’s day, he’ll just add his name and you’re stuck. Trust me. It could happen.
Adding a kicker involves placing the cursor at your title’s beginning. Type the kicker and press enter. Don’t panic when all the title formatting goes demonic. Doctors don’t panic until someone doesn’t refill the coffee maker.
Highlight your kicker and select the subtitle case — the small t.
Order will be restored, along with your heartbeat.
This Month’s Challenges
It’s not that I want you to talk about the most hated word in the English language — moist — blame Jennifer McDougall. Then blame Christopher for twelve “words” that will be hard to string together, but I know you can do it.
Another challenge! What is she doing? Don’t we have enough?
Never enough!
Stats are down in the summer, so let’s support each other. Take two or more articles from Doctor Funny and share them on your social media. If it’s Twitter don’t forget to tag Doctor Funny, and the author if they are Twits too.
And for god’s sake, don’t choose your own — that one’s for you Gunner Barrett who chose his own article as his favorite in the last newsletter. We know you like your own shit, but sniff around and you’ll find another pile you can get behind.
A Free Gift!
And because of this month’s MOIST theme, I offer you a gift. Find a way to use this image of a truck that was driving in front of me (image taken by my daughter).
Play with it. Manipulate it. Spring it to life. Bat it around until you cum up with something. Beat the other DF writers to the Pearl Jam. I know you have it in you but it’s time to get the poison out.

Laco out.
