"Golden Years" (excerpt)
Don't let me hear you say life's
taking you nowhere,

Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young

Don't let me hear you say life's
taking you nowhere,

 
ode to the spell checker
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
 
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh
 
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
 
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew

shingles
Doesn't it seem that more and more physicians are running their practices like an assembly line?

Here's what happened to Buford:
 
Buford walked into the doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had.  Buford said, Shingles.  So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
 
Fifteen minutes later a nurses aide came out and asked Buford what he had.  Buford said, Shingles.  So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Buford to wait in the examining room.
 
A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Buford what he had.  Buford said, Shingles.  So she gave Buford a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, told Buford to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
 
An hour later the doctor came in and asked Buford what he had.  Buford said, Shingles.  The doctor asked, where?
 
Buford said, "Outside on the truck.  Where do you want them?"
