| A woman awaiting surgery was lying naked on a gurney in the hallway when a man in a white coat came by, lifted the sheet, looked for a moment, then disappeared. A few minutes later, the same man stopped by again, lifted her sheet, looked for a moment, then disappeared. When he appeared a third time, she worked up her courage and asked, "Doctor, will I be going into surgery sometime soon?" And the man replied, "Don't ask me, lady. I'm just a painter!" |
