toBubba: Bubba walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist askedhim what he had. Bubba said, Shingles. So she wrote down his name,address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat. Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Bubbawhat he had. Bubba said, Shingles. So she wrote down his height, weight, acomplete medical history and told Bubba to wait in the examining room. A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had.Bubba said, Shingles. So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a bloodpressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all hisclothes and wait for the doctor. An hour later the doctor came in and asked Bubba what he had.Bubba said, shingles. The doctor asked, Where? Bubba said, "Outside on the truck.
