I find these “image” galleries by The Onion really hilarious!

E.g. Everything Elon Musk Did While Visiting Israel:

Put His Arms In The Air And Shouted ‘Space Musk!’ But Failed To Blast Off. Someday the technology will catch up with his vision.

Or: Americans React To The Death Of Henry Kissinger:

“But he still had so many war crimes left in him.”

“You Want My Password or a Dead Patient?”

One example given is that one Electronic Health Record (EHR) system forces clinicians to prescribe blood thinners to patient meeting given criteria before they can end their session, even if the patient is already on blood thinners.
