"Wealth has its penalties, you know. "A young fellow said to a doctor: " 'Doctor, I got a queer pain here.' "The doctor's eyes glittered. "'Yes, yes!' he said. 'Lie down on your right side on the operating table. Humph. This is the sore spot, is it not?" " 'Now, doctor,' said the patient, 'I only make, fifteen per, so don't you go looking for any expensive appendicitis appen-dicitis symptoms.' "The doctor's face fell, and It turned out that the young man only had indigestion, after all." |
