Once Over Lightly

Sense and nonsense on the road to recovery

THIS ISSUE of the Grapevine devotes a large section of its pages to the opinions, observations, and experience of doctors. Not to be outdone by the editors of all that serious stuff, this department rounded up a whole lot of doctor jokes. To get started . . . Doctor: "I'll have you walking in a month." Lushy Patient: "How do you know?" Doctor: "When you get my bill, you'll have to sell your car." . . . Doctor to one of our future brethren: "You're a fine figure of a man. I'd say you were in great shape for a man of sixty-five, if I happened to forget that you're only forty-seven." . . . Doctor to very shaky patient: "My heavens, you must drink an awful lot!" Patient: "Not really, Doc, but I sure spill a good deal." . . . Doctor: "This man must have been drugged." Drunk: "You bet he was. I drug him five blocks to get him here!" . . . Doctor: "Why do you have RL-1082 tattooed on your back?" Lush: "That's no tattoo. That's where my old lady hit me with the car."
