A BRILLIANT Doctor...

The patient went to his doctor because he had flu, and the doctor wrote out a prescription for him in his usual illegible writing.

The patient put it in his pocket, but forgot to get the tablets from the pharmacy.

Every morning, for two years, he showed it to the conductor as a railroad pass.

Twice, it got him into the movies, once into the soccer stadium, and once into the symphony.

He got a raise at work by showing it as a note from his boss.

One day he mislaid it...

His daughter picked it up, played it on the piano and won a scholarship to the conservatory of music....

A Very SMart Cop...

Two policemen (Constables Roy and Barry) call the station on the radio.

"Hello. Is that the Sarge?"

"Yes?"

"We have a case here... 

A woman has shot her husband for stepping on the floor after she had just mopped it clean."

"Have you arrested the woman?"

"No sir....

The floor is still wet."

The Engineer who Became a Doctor....

An Engineer was unemployed for long time. He could not find a job so he opened a medical clinic and puts a sign up outside: 

"Get your treatment for $50, if not treated get back $100."

One Doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to earn $100 and goes to his clinic.

Doctor: "I have lost taste in my mouth."

Engineer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Doctor: "This is Petrol!"

Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $50."

The Doctor gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later to recover his money.

Doctor: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

Engineer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Doctor: "But that is Petrol!"

Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $50."

The Doctor leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

Doctor: "My eyesight has become weak."

Engineer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for this. Take this $100."

Doctor: "But this is $50..."

Engineer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $50."

A Good Woman...

Earl and Bubba are quietly sitting in a boat fishing,...
 
Chewing tobacco and drinking beer when suddenly
Bubba says... 

"Think I'm gonna divorce the wife - she Ain't spoke to me in over 2 months."
  Earl spits overboard, takes a long, slow sip of beer and says... 

"Better think it over  ....women like that are hard to find."

Great advice from a lawyer...

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice.

After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"

"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."

The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills...

When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.
