“Good morning, Doctor,” the man said. “I’m here because my wife insists that I need professional help.”

“Why does she feel that way?” the Doctor asked.

“Because I prefer bow ties to long ties.”

“I don't understand,” the Doctor said. “Why would she see that as a problem? Many people prefer bow ties to long ties. In fact, I have the same preference myself.”

“Really?” the patient smiled. “How do you like yours - boiled, or sautéed with a little garlic?”
