* In his attempt to put a new patient at ease during a checkup my friend a gynecologist, struck up a casual conversation. After noticing the label on her sandals that said, “Hecho in México”, he asked “So when were you in Mexico?” flummoxed, the patient asked, “You can tell all that from a pelvic exam?”
@ It was a cold and icy morning and the streets were pretty slick. I was driving a city bus and when I went around the corner from one main street to a side street the bus started sliding. It went across the street over the curb, over the lawn and landed a couple of feet from the front porch of a house. Once I got composed, I opened the door and stepped out of the bus. A man looked out of the house’s front door with a cup of coffee in his hand and called to his wife. “Honey, did you call for a bus?”
A relative had our family tree traced back to its medieval roots in England. On a trip to Britain, my wife and I visited the Goodrich Castle, which bears our name. Near the castle’s entrance was a little shed were a woman was taking tickets. I jokingly told her that my name was Goodrich and that I had come from the United States to claim the castle. “Oh, good,” she explained, “We have been waiting for you to pay the last nine hundred years in back taxes.”
