a good laugh

[Guest guest]

If

anyone else needs a joke today, this is courtesy of Reader’s Digest Sept

2008:

The

plumber fixes a leak in the doctor’s house—then bills him for

$1000.

“This

is ridiculous!” the doctor says. “I

don’t even charge that much.”

The

plumber says, “Neither did I when I was a doctor.”

(I

just got my first EOB now that I’m taking some insurance …99214

charge mysteriously got changed from $106 to $6. This does not reassure me of

what’s to come as more roll in. Maybe I should

think about another career!)
