The Patient Thinks...

"I feel terrible, Doctor Sweetfart,
my whole body hurts constantly,
it's like I'm falling apart."

"I examined you thoroughly,
there is nothing wrong with you,
you just think you are sick."
replied Doctor Sweetfart
to his patient Nebbichstick.

"Maybe I need a nervous doctor?"

"A psychiatrist - is that what
you're trying to say?
I checked this out - no way!
Nothing wrong on that score,
you just think you're sick."
Said the good Doctor to his
worried patient Nebbichstick.

Three months later Doctor Sweetfart
saw Adolf, Nebbichstick's son,
in the local super mart.
He asked Adolf: "How is your Dad?"
Said Adolf: "He thinks he is dead."
