Health Care

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers.

"Hello?"

"Mrs. Sanders, please."

"Speaking."

"Mrs. Sanders, this is Dr. Jones at St. Agnes Laboratory. When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way the results are not too good."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.

"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for HIV. We can't tell which is which."

"That's dreadful! Can you do the test a gain?" questioned Mrs. Sanders.

"Normally we could, but the new health care system will only pay for these expensive tests just one time."

''Well, what am I supposed to do now? "

"The folks at Obama Care recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."

Pizza Deal

We went to a supper crowded Pizza Hut yesterday right after the football game and ordered a 12 inch pizza, a moment later, a waiter said the 12 inch are all sold out and we have to wait for half an hour, but he offered us for a 9-inch plus a 6-inch to swap.

I quickly said yes and felt lucky that 9 + 6 = 15, and 15 is larger than 12!. But the wife would not agree - life or death, and she shouted loud in protest. She asked the waiter to swap for a 9-inch, plus TWO 6-inches. I felt embarrassed and told her in a low voice not to get greedy. Then, She call the waiter over asking for a pen and paper.

On the counter, she ran some serious calculations for me and the waiter:

Area of a 12-inch pizza = pi x R ^ squared = 3.14 x (12/2) ^2 = 113 sq in.

Area of one 9 inch pizza and one 6 inch pizza = 3.14 x [ (9/2) ^2 + (6/2) ^2 ] = 92 sq in.

We were at a loss of 21 sq in.

I almost fainted ……
