Polite Dissent

Many of my patients like to come in and tell me a joke or two. Sometimes, these jokes are actually funny. Being the generous soul I am, I figured I’d take a moment and share some of these jokes with you when I get a chance.

This one was told to me last week by a sweet little old lady.

An elderly lady was cleaning her attic when she came across a rusty old lamp. Just as she started to rub the grime off of the lamp, a genie appeared. He offered to grant her three wishes.
“I wish my house was as clean and new as it was fifty years ago,” she said. Poof! Her house was beautiful, clean and brand new.
“I wish I was as beautiful and young as I was fifty years ago,” she said. Poof! There was now a beautiful young lady where a wrinkled woman had been.
“You have one wish left,” said the genie.
The woman looked around and spied her cat. “I wish that my cat was Prince Charming!”
Poof! The cat turned into a tall, handsome and well-dressed prince.
The prince looked at her, looked down at himself, and then looked back at her and sadly shook his head. “Should never have had me neutered,” he said.
