An elderly Jewish man has just moved to a new town, when he is taken
ill and decides that he needs to see a doctor.
In the doctor's waiting room, he tries to find out a bit about the
doctor.
He asks the man sitting next to him if the doctor is a specialist.
The man replies that the doctor specializes in everything.
The Jewish man thinks about this and looks nervous.
He asks the man
if the doctor's fees are expensive.
The man says: "Well, he is and he isn't. You see, he charges you one thousand dollars for your first visit."
The Jewish man looks even more worried now and exclaims in
amazement, "A thousand dollars?"
The man replies, "Yes, but all your visits after that for the rest
of your life are free!"
The Jewish man thinks about this, and then gets called by the nurse
to go in to see the doctor.
On entering the doctor's office he says casually, "Hello doctor,
here I am again!"
The doctor answers, "You seem to be doing well for a man your age.
Just continue the recommendations I made the last time."
