Joseph reaches 60 and decides to see his doctor. “So what’s the matter with you this time Joseph?” asks doctor Levine.
I’m now 60, doctor, and I just don’t seem to be able to do all the things around the house that I used to do. ”
“OK Joseph,” says doctor Levine, “pop up on my examination table and I’ll see what I can find.”
When the examination is over, Joseph says, “OK doctor, don’t be scared, I can take it. Just tell me in plain English – what’s wrong with me?”
“Do you really want to know, Joseph?” asks doctor Levine.
“Yes I do,” replies Joseph.
“Well, in plain English,” says doctor Levine, “you’re just plain lazy.”
“Okay,” says Joseph, “now give me the medical term so that I can tell my wife Sarah.”
