"Medical Board"
Dr. Cook was brought up on charges at the medical board.
He had, it seemed, uttered the vilest profanity to his nurse. He
explained, "Let me tell you what happened. My alarm didn't go
off, so I woke up late. When I did wake up, I tried to turn on the
light in the lamp on my nightstand. The bulb exploded and
scared me for a minute, so I pulled the cord out of the wall,
and the lamp fell over and broke.
Then I was trying to make a little breakfast when a whole army
of little Girl Scouts showed up and tried to sell me tons of
cookies. I had to buy five boxes to get rid of the kids. By then
my coffee was ice cold, and my eggs were burned. I gulped
down a glass of juice. It turned out to be sour.
When I started to drive to the office, the car conked out. The
alternator was gone. I didn't have my auto club card with me
so I had to pay to have the car towed to a service station. I
looked at my service book and discovered that the warranty
ran out last week.
I took a cab to the office, but around Main Street somebody
sideswiped us, and I hit my head on the door handle. I finally
made it into my office when my nurse said, "Doctor, a shipment
of thermometers just came in. What shall I do with them?"
