I went to the Doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse started with certain basics.
“How much do you weigh?” she asked.
“135,” I said.
The nurse put me on the scale.
It turns out my weight is 180.
The nurse asked, “Your height?”
“5 foot 4,” I said.
The nurse checked and saw that I only measure 5’ 2”.
She then took my blood pressure and told me that it was very high.
“Of course it’s high!” I screamed. “When I came in here I was tall and slender - now I’m short and fat!”
She put me on Prozac.
