In a small rural town the local doctor is known for his abrupt bed-side manners. His last appointment for the Friday afternoon shows up a bit late, and he is more agitated than normally. "Yeah, you're late sit down and speak up!" he greets the woman. "Doctor, I'm having difficulty falling pregnant, I've been trying for years and to no success." The doctor doesn't look up and says, "Good get rid of the clothes and go lie on the examination table, and be quick about it. I'm in a hurry." So the woman walks over to the bed and as she was undressing she slowly and very unsurely says, "Doctor, I actually would have preferred the baby to be my husband's." |
