Smile:
President Joyce asked for this.
R Craig has a lot of relations. This time, he has uncles who are twins, one is a doctor, the second is a custodian. The Doctor brother wanted to play golf but had 3 patients scheduled, so he went to his twin brother to ask him to cover for him, to pretend to be the doctor. He said it would be easy.
First patient arrives and complains of a headacke, so the brother prescribes Tylenol.
Second patient arrives and complains of an upset stomach, so the brother prescribes malox.
Third patient is Joyce who comes in, strips off all her cloths and lays on the table saying she hasn't seen a man if days. The brother prescribed eye drops.
