Shingles

A man walked into a doctor’s office. The receptionist asked him what he had. He replied, “I got

shingles.” She said, “Fill out this form with your name, address, and insurance number. When

you’re done, take a seat.” Fifteen minutes later, the nurse’s aide came out, took him to the

examining room and asked him what he had. He said, “I got shingles.” So she took down his

height, weight, and complete medical history, then said, “Change into this gown.” A half hour

later, the nurse came in and asked him what he had. He said, “I got shingles.” She gave him a

blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told him to wait for the doctor. An

hour later, the doctor came in and asked him what he had. He said, “I got shingles.” The doctor

gave him a thorough examination and said, “I’ve checked you thoroughly. I can’t find shingles

anywhere.” The man replied, “They’re outside in my truck. Where do you want them?”
