Humor isn't the issue, but rather its callous use to dehumanize and degrade.
Humor is always welcome in any field, but that others wrongly use it supplies no defense in disciplinary proceedings based on this kind of unprofessional conduct. (And, it should sound ill in the mouth of one who seems to assert a Neuremberg-like defense.)
I have no doubt you know of others disciplined for just this kind of thing: I do.
Anyway, I wish we had an automotive engineer in good standing to wade in on the vibration issue.
Addendum:
An example of what passes for patient-directed, "humor:" https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.f27a2b9d2e6f
Looks like there's been general agreement in the profession for years that humor reasonably calculated to dehumanize or embarrass the patient is not ethical: http://bioethicsdiscussion.blogspot....r-patient.html

I will now lighten the mood with an Arctic joke loosely related to cars:
A penguin is driving along when his car breaks down. It's towed to a garage in the nearest town where the mechanic says he needs an hour or so and suggests the penguin take a stroll around town to kill time.
As he's exploring the town the penguin finds an ice cream shop and orders a huge vanilla cone. It's hot out so as he's walking around the ice cream is melting down onto his chin and his chest. Soon he's covered in it.
An hour passes and the penguin returns to the garage to check on the car. The mechanic says "It looks like you just blew a seal." "No", the penguin replies, "this is just ice cream".

Funny, really...those of us who have or had professions well know the bounds of propriety and impropriety. While there may be a twilight area between the two, derision of another over an involuntary act, reasonably calculated to embarrass or reduce in dignity, clearly falls outside the zone and WILL get privileges yanked and proceedings of licensure brought.
Just imagine a family member standing by the gurney when a code brown is called...your liability underwriters agree, intentional acts will result in a coverage "brown out."
Sum: outrageous conduct cannot be concealed behind a sham penumbra of "humor," albeit custom in 1978. (my calendar reflects 2017.)
I still think it is a sympathetic vibration, but concede it may be a seal.
(only sea lions have external ears.)

Diesel or polar bear?
So, the implied proposition is two docs can make jokes about brown codes and it isn't adolescent? Right. Well, o.k., sophomoric.

Your need to repeatedly comment on it, however, just proves your attempt to be superior.
Operative word: attempt.

And, I'm sophomoric because I find humor in something that is clearly nothing to do with the thread but a response to several other jokes. Anyone who takes this place THAT seriously has an issue. We are here for fun, any way we can't find it. No one was hurt in the making of any of these posts.

Imputing views to me I don't hold is but another ad hominem.
But, I do maintain one thing you impute to me: you and the other doc should be ashamed of your humor at your patients' expense. Do it one too many times and you will get disciplined.
9 out of 10 polar bears agree, as do your liability underwriters.
