"It's just a cold," the doctor said. "There is no
cure, and you'll just have to live with it until it
goes away."
"But Doctor," the patient whined, "it's making
me so miserable."
The doctor rolled his eyes toward the ceiling.
Then he said, "Look, go home and take a hot
bath. Then put a bathing suit on and run
around the block three or four times."
"What!" the patient exclaimed. "I'll get pneumonia!"
"We have a cure for pneumonia," the doctor said.
