Went to the Doctor yesterday
True story, a new "vitals" lady called my name to go with her, we're walking to her station when she asks
"How are you today?"
M...Ornery
H...We don't allow that in here
She takes my weight and instructs me to stand on the height gauge
H...OK, five foot six
M...Wow, when I got out of high school I was six foot one & a half
H...Well gravity gets to us as we grow older
M...Could have sworn I was at least five foot thirteen
H...Now quit being ornery!
M...How tall are you?
H...Five foot four
M...So I'm only two inches taller than you?
She looks me over real good, giggles, "Let's try that again"
Second time's the charm, she got it right.
