Mr. Ward goes to the doctor's office to collect his wife's test results.
The lab tech says to him, "I'm sorry, sir, but there has been a bit of a
mix-up and we have a problem.
When we sent the samples from your wife to the lab, the samples from
another Mrs. Ward were sent as well and we are now uncertain which
one is your wife's. Frankly, it is either bad or terrible."
"What do you mean?" Mr. Ward asked.
"Well, one Mrs. Ward has tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other
for AIDS. We can't tell which is your wife."
"That's terrible! Can we do the test over?" questioned Mr. Ward?
"Normally, yes. But you have an HMO, and they won't pay for these
expensive tests more than once."
"Well,what am I supposed to do now?"
"The HMO recommends that you drop your wife off in the middle of town.
If she finds her way home, don't sleep with her." --
