At the Doc's

Saw my doctor today.
He's doing fine.
Me?  Not too good.
He told me I looked great.
He didn't look too shabby either.
I told him everyone tells me I look great...
but I feel like crap.
He told me I always say that.
I say that because I always feel like crap...
that's why I go to him.
He told me there is nothing he can do for me
because I have lived beyond the age of longevity.
It seems when people age... parts wear out.
I have been aging for over eighty-six years...
so I know a little about parts wearing out.
So... if he can do nothing for me,
yet tells me what I already know,
why does he charge me a co-fee?
It's no wonder I feel like crap.

Hah! You're a funny guy, John. I just got back from visiting the ER myself. I feel the same about if I'm in such good shape (they always throw that in) why don't my bill begin to start be less.
