Author Description

Paging all doctors--cardiologists, psychiatrists, surgeons, and all other members of the medical profession. They're the ones getting a thorough examination this time, in this side-splitting collection of jokes, riddles, and comic stories. If laughter is the best medicine, and a giggle a day keeps the doctor away, these gags will sure keep you in fine shape. One plastic surgeon to another: My daughter gets her good looks from me. Medical costs too high? Here's how it happens: My doctor is a magician. Every time he sees me, $100 disappears from my pockets and appears in his bill. Humorist Dave Barry has this advice: "It is a good idea to shop around before you settle on a doctor. Ask about the condition of his Mercedes. Ask about the competence of his mechanic. Don't be shy! After all, you're paying for it." You'll just die laughing.
