Never Let Your Wife Talk to Your Doctor!

A man went to the doctor for a physical because he hadn't been feeling well. A few days later, the doctor called and spoke with the wife. "Before I talk with your husband about his condition, I wanted to speak with you. Your husband is a very sick man, but he does have a good chance to live many more years if his diet is kept very bland - no salt, no spices, nothing rich or fatty."

The wife said, "Of course, doctor, I'd be glad to cook whatever I need to cook for him any way it needs to be prepared."

The doctor said, "That' good, because there's one other thing that will assure his longevity. Under no circumstances must he be upset. That means no arguments, no disagreements, no nagging. Whatever he wants, you must agree to, because to upset him would run the serious risk of endangering his health and his life. Do you understand?"

The wife replied very soberly, "Yes. I understand. Thank you, doctor."

Her husband walked in as she hung up the phone, and having heard her last statement asked, "What did the doctor have to say?"
