The Stupidest Thing

"Plain English"*

*The man told his doctor that he wasn't able
to do all the things around the house that he used to do.

When the examination was complete, he said,
"Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English
what is wrong with me."

"Well, in plain English," the doctor replied, "you're just lazy."

"Okay," said the man. "Now give me the medical
term so I can tell my wife."

"The Stupidest Thing"*

*Tired of the inconvenience of the drive from airport
to country cottage, a man equipped his small plane
with pontoons so he could land on the lake directly
in front of his cottage.

On his next trip, he made his approach down the
airport runway as usual.

Alarmed, his wife cried out, "Are you crazy? You can't
land this plane here without wheels!"

The startled husband abruptly yanked the nose up,
narrowly averting certain disaster.

Continuing, he landed the plane on the lake without mishap.

As he sat there, visibly shaken he said to his wife,
"I don't know what got into me. That's the stupidest
thing I've ever done in my life!"

And with that, he opened the door and stepped out, falling into the water.
