Needle or Syringe?

某甲到医院做健康检查,护士拿了针要替他抽血,某甲看著闪闪发亮的针头忍不住问:“会不会痛啊?我怕痛!”护士说:“放心好了,我做了二十几年的护士……”某甲说:“太好了,我放心了!”然后护士一针扎下,只听到某甲杀猪般的一声惨叫,护士才缓缓接道:“没有一次不痛的。

It's interesting to note that the Chinese don't differentiate needles and the hypodermic syringes. They just use needle to represent hypodermic syringe. Indigo read the joke a couple of times before she realized that was not a normal "needle", it was meant as a hypodermic syringe.

She wanted it to be funnier.

Da Man went to the hospital for a checkup, the nurse brought a syringe to draw some of his blood, Da Man glanced at the shining needle part of the syringe and couldn't help but ask (in a cowardly sort of way), "W-w-will it hurt?"I'm afraid it'll hurt! (he almost wailed)" "Don't worry!" the nurse replied."I have been a nurse for over twenty long years..." Da Man sighed with relief, " Phew! I thought I was a goner for sure!" The nurse then heroically plunged the syringe like she was going to stab an enemy with a sword into Da Man's forearm. Da Man screamed in agony and pain; like Da Pig in process of being slaughtered."...not once did it not hurt," the nurse finished with flourish.

I made a comment that she exaggerated a little in the translation. Indigo says it's more fun that way.
