| Call of duty... | | The doctor answered the phone and heard the familiar voice of a colleague on the other end of the line.
"We need a fourth for poker," said the friend.
"I'll be right over," whispered the doctor. As he was putting on his coat, his wife asked, "Is it serious?"
"Oh yes, quite serious," said the doctor gravely. "In fact, three other doctors are there already."
|
| Vet advice... | | Bob took his dog to the vet for its annual check-up.
"Your dog is overweight," the doc said. "You should cut back on his food a little and make sure the dog gets some exercise. Just try playing fetch with him."
"That's impossible," Bob replied. "I can't play fetch with my dog."
"Why not?" asked the vet.
"He can't throw", Bob said |
| Treatment option | |
A veterinarian was feeling ill and went to see her doctor. The doctor asked her all the usual questions, about symptoms, how long had they been occurring, etc., when she interrupted him: "Hey look, I'm a vet. I don't need to ask my patients these kind of questions: I can tell what's wrong just by looking. Why can't you?"
The doctor nodded, looked her up and down, wrote out a prescription, and handed it to her and said, "There you are. Of course, if that doesn't work, we'll have to have you put down."

| Polishing apples | | A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.
The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel. I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing that apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents.
The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them for 20 cents. I continued this system of polishing and selling, each time reinvesting my profits into buying more apples."
"Wow!" said the young man, "and that's how you accumulated your fortune?"
"Nah", said the old man, "my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

| Experience... | |
A motorist was on trial for hitting a pedestrian.
The motorist's lawyer made this point: "Your honor, my client has been driving for over thirty years."
To which the lawyer for the plaintiff retorted:
"Your honor, if we are going to judge this case by experience, may I remind you that my client has been walking for over fifty years."
