Why Medicare Is Goin' Bust

A feller went to the doctor's office 'cause he wasn't feelin' well. The doctor said, "You ain't lookin' all that swell, this I can tell!" He had a banana stuck in his right ear and a celery stalk in his left! From his nose dangled a pair of carrots thus leavin' him quite bereft! The doc without further examination relieved him from his plight, Sayin', "You gotta change yer eatin' habits! You're not eatin' right!" Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved
