My favorite story of the week is about a gentlemen named Morris. He is an 82 year-old man who went to the doctor to get a physical.

A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, “You’re really doing great, aren’t you?”

Morris replied, “Just doing what you said, Doc: ‘Get a hot Mamma and be cheerful.”

The doctor said, “I didn’t say that. I said, “You’ve got a Heart murmur; be careful.”

Those of us that are hard of hearing should be very careful when our doctor speaks to us.
