Alzheimer Or Gonorrhea

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, ‘Hello.’ ‘Mrs. Sanders, please.’

‘Speaking.’ ‘Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your

husband’s doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived

as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way, the results

are not too good.’ ‘What do you mean?’ Mrs. Sanders asks nervously. ‘Well, one of the

specimens tested positive for Alzheimer’s and the other one tested positive for gonorrhea. We

can’t tell which is which.’ ‘That’s dreadful! Can you do the test again?’ questioned Mrs.

Sanders. ‘Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time.’

‘Well, what am I supposed to do now?’ ‘The folks at Medicare recommend that you drop your

husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don’t sl**p w**h him.
