Mr. Smith goes to the doctor's office to collect his
wife's test results.

Receptionist: "I'm sorry, sir, but there has been a
bit of a mix-up and we have a problem. When we sent
the samples from your wife to the lab, the samples from
another Mrs. Smith were sent as well and we are now
uncertain which one is your wife's. Frankly, that's
either bad or terrible."

Mr. Smith: "What do you mean?"

Receptionist: "Well, one Mrs. Smith has tested positive
for Alzheimer disease and the other was positive for
AIDS. We can't tell which is your wife."

Mr. Smith: "That's terrible! Can we do the test over?"

Receptionist: "Normally, yes. But you have an HMO, and
they won't pay for these expensive tests more than once."

Mr. Smith: "Well, what am I supposed to do now?"

Receptionist: "The doctor recommends that you drop your
wife off in the middle of town. If she finds her way
home, don't fu<k her."
