Fish Goes To The Doctor

Fish goes to the doctor. The doctor says, “Hello, sir.

What brings you in today?” The fish replies,

“Everything. I hurt my back at work, I have a cold, my

eyesight is going, and I have high blood pressure.” The

doctor raises his eyebrows, jots down some notes on his

clipboard, and says, “Okay, Mr. Salmon, what’s your

lifestyle like? Do you eat healthily, get enough sleep, all

that?” “Oh, yes,” replies the fish. “I eat organic,

sleep at least 7 hours a night, and I never drink or

smoke.” At that, the doctor smiles and slaps his knee.

“Well that’s your problem!” he exclaims. “Let me

write you a prescription for some Marlboros.” The fish is

dumbfounded. “Doctor, why?” The doctor finishes writing

the prescription rips it off his pad, and hands it to the

fish. “You need to start smoking,” he says, “because

smoking cures salmon.”
