Hard to Get

"Hard to Get"*

*This morning, I called my doctor's office for an
appointment.

"I'm sorry," said the receptionist, "we can't fit
you in for at least two weeks."

"But I could be dead by then!" I retorted.

"No problem," she said. "If your wife lets us know,
we'll cancel the appointment."

"Learning to Drive"*

*My driving instructor was a pleasant middle-aged
man who accepted the blunders I made with
unfailing patience. I asked him if driving lessons
were, perhaps, a part-time occupation.

"No," he replied, "I do it on a full-time basis - nine
or ten hours a day."

"Wow!" I exclaimed. "That must be rugged."

"It isn't too bad," he grinned. "I'm pretty well paid,
well insured, single, and my hair is already white."
