Yearly Check Up I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basics. How much do you weigh?" she asks. "160," I say. The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 200. The nurse asks, "Your height?" "5 foot 9," I say. The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5 foot 6". She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high. "Of course it's high!" I scream, "When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!" She put me on Prozac.
