Slight Heart Condition

"Slight Heart Condition"

A doctor said to his patient: "You have a slight
heart condition, but I wouldn't worry about it."

"Really, Doc?" the patient replied. "Well, if you
had a slight heart condition I wouldn't worry
about it either."

"Bad Condition"

The psychiatrist was not expecting the distraught stranger
who staggered into his office and slumped into a chair.
"You've got to help me. I'm losing my memory, Doctor," he
sobbed. "I once had a successful business, a wife, home and
family; I was a respected member of the community. But all
that's gone now. Since my memory began failing, I've lost
the business - I couldn't remember my clients' names. My
wife and children have left me, too; and why shouldn't they
- some nights I wouldn't get home until four or five in the
morning. I'd forget where I lived...And it's getting worse.
Doctor - it's getting worse!"

"This is not an unusual form of neurosis," the psychiatrist
said soothingly. "Now tell me, just how long ago did you
first become aware of this condition?"

"Condition?" The man sat up in his chair. "What condition?"
