HAVE A LAUGH

LIGHTING THE WAY

DEEP in the back woods of Tennessee, a farmer’s wife went into labour in the middle of the night and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery.

Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern and said, “Here. You hold this high so I can see what I am doing.”

Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world.

“Whoa there,” said the doctor, “don’t be in such a rush to put that lantern down. I think there’s another one coming.” Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl.

“Hold that lantern up, don’t set it down; there’s another one!” said the doctor.

Within a few minutes he had delivered a third baby.

“No, don’t be in a hurry to put down that lantern, it seems there’s yet another one coming!” cried the doctor.

The farmer scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor, “You think it might be the light that’s attracting them?”

MEDICAL ADVICE

A man went to see his doctor because he was suffering from a miserable cold.

His doctor prescribed some pills, but they didn’t help.

On his next visit the doctor gave him a shot, but that didn’t do any good, either.

On his third visit the doctor told the man to go home and take a hot bath.

As soon as he was finished bathing he was to throw open all the windows and stands in the draft.

“But doc,” protested the patient, “if I do that, I’ll get pneumonia.”

“I know,” said his physician, “I can cure pneumonia.”
