Too obvious A woman was having a medical problem — her husband’s snoring. So she called the doctor one morning, and asked him if there was anything he could do to relieve her suffering. “Well, there is one operation I can perform that will cure your husband, but it is really rather expensive. It will cost $1,000 down, and payments of $450 for 24 months, plus payments for extras.” “My goodness!” the woman exclaimed, “sounds like leasing a new sports car!” “Humm,” the doctor murmured, “too obvious, huh?” What’s his advice? A patient was waiting nervously in the examination room of a famous specialist. “So who did you see before coming to me?” asked the important doctor. “My local general practitioner, Dr. Cohen.” “Your GP?” scoffed the doctor. “What a waste of time. Tell me, what sort of useless advice did Cohen give you?” “He told me to come and see you.” Misleading A guy was in court charged with parking in a restricted area. The judge asked him if he had anything to say in his defense. “They shouldn’t put up such misleading notices,” said the guy. “It said `FINE FOR PARKING HERE.’” |
