The doctor speaks to the man’s wife

A middle aged man goes into the doctor’s office for a check-up with a litany of complaints.

The doctor speaks to the man’s wife alone and says, “There is nothing the matter with your husband.

If you make a couple of meals for him a day, let him watch his sports.

Do not complain at him too much and require him to listen.

Limit his exposure to in-laws and make love to him once a week.

Then, he’ll probably live another 20 years.”

She returns to her husband’s side in the waiting room.

He asks, “What did the doctor tell you?”

“You are going to be dying soon, my dear.”
