Ed, a proud dad of an eight-year-old rather small lad, was getting concerned at his son's lack of growth the past year. Ed has always envisioned his son being an athlete and starring on the football field or basketball court, so he was beginning to worry. Finally Ed decided to take the boy to local doctor that specialized in children's physical development, and after a thorough examination he gave Ed the bad news. "Ed, your son's joints are locked up and he will always be quite small and lack the physical development of a normal child".

Disheartened, Ed could not accept what the doctor said so he took him to a well known chiropractor for another opinion. After a thorough examination the chiropractor came to the same conclusion as the first doctor and gave Ed the bad news. Starting to run out of hope and options, Ed finally decided to take him to a local quack, Dr. Smith, who seemed to have a cure for everything. After examination, Dr, Smith, said I think I can help the young man. He said, "go to the hardware store and buy a 1/2" 4' x 8' sheet of plywood, a pulley with a hand crank, and enough rope to bind your son's hand and feet. Every night after supper, lay him on the plywood, tie his hands and feet, and start cranking the pulley for about 10 or 15 minutes. Eventually this should unlock his joints and he should start to grow".

About a month later Dr. Smith ran into Ed at a local department store and approached him to ask how the young lad was doing in this therapy ....."Ed, I saw you over here and thought I would how your son is doing with the treatment". Ed replied, "well doc he hasn't grown and inch but has confessed to over 96 crimes".

A personal anecdote, true story.

Was in a diner near my fishing cabin last summer, having some lunch. A group of guys sat down at the booth adjacent to mine. They talked about many things that I could not help but overhear even as I tried to concentrate on my newspaper (I like places that leave some papers out for patrons to peruse!).

Anyway...after one guy talked about how both he and his dog were getting tested for Lyme disease, one of the others told a story about his last trip to the doctor.

Was for a routine physical, and he had been through all the first steps, stripping down, getting a gown on, peed in a cup, got his BP, height, weight etc.,, checked by a nurse who also went over his questionnaire.

The nurse left, saying "The doctor will be in with you shortly." leaving him sitting in his gown on the table in the exam room.

A few minutes later, another woman steps in. The guy says "That other nurse already did the prelims."
The woman says "Well, I'm the doctor. Would you like a male doctor...there's two men in this practice, and I can get one of them to do your exam, if you want...I understand that might make you more comfortable, but I'll tell you this now: I have the smallest fingers in this practice."

After they finished laughing, I turned around and said "I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but *that* was a funny story."
