Forgetful

"Doctor's Referral"

A patient was waiting nervously in the
examination room of a famous specialist.

"So who did you see before coming to me?"
asked the doctor.

"My local General Practitioner."

"Your GP?" scoffed the doctor. "What a waste
of time. Tell me, what sort of useless advice
did he give you?"

"He told me to come and see you."

"Forgetful"

William's wife started noticing how forgetful he was
becoming. Being the concerned wife, she convinced
him to see a doctor. William was a little worried
when the doctor came in. Sensing his patient's
nervousness, the first thing the doctor did was to
ask what was troubling him.

"Well," William answered. "I seem to be getting forgetful.
I'm never sure I can remember where I put the car, or
whether I answered a letter, or where I'm going, or
what it is I'm going to do once I get there, if I get there.
So, I really need your help. What can I do?"

The doctor thought for a moment, then answered
in his kindest tone, "Pay me in advance."
