A Dead Horse Is No Excuse

"Hormone Therapy"

A man went to an internist and complained of listlessness.
After a thorough examination, the doctor said, "You ought
to try some hormones."

"Like they give to women?" the patient asked,
dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"

"Everybody uses hormones and for different purposes.
They even give them to racehorses." replied the doctor.

The patient agreed to a shot and returned two weeks
later for a follow-up visit. The Doctor asked if they worked.

The patient replied, "You bet they did but, not exactly as
I planned. Yesterday, I ran six furlongs in one-ten!"

"A Dead Horse Is No Excuse"

The General went out to find that none of his G.I.s
were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.

"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and it
ran a little late. I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed
a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse
but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."

The General was very skeptical about this explanation
but at least he was here so he let the G.I. go. Moments
later, eight more G.I.s came up to the general panting,
he asked them why they were late.

"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the
bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down, found
a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles,
and now I'm here."

The General eyed them, feeling very skeptical but since
he let the first guy go, he let them go, too.

A ninth G.I. jogged up to the General, panting heavily,
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to
the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but..."

"Let me guess," the General interrupted, "it broke down."

"No," said the G.I., "there were so many dead horses
in the road, it took forever to get around them."
