THE LAST LAUGH ~ A middle-aged man was shuffling along, bent over at the waist, as his wife helped him into the doctor's waiting room. A woman in the office viewed the scene, with sympathy. "Arthritis, with complications?" she asked. The wife shook her head, and responded, "Do-it-yourself, with concrete blocks."
