A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's
office.
"Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the
medication you prescribed
has to be taken for the rest of
my life?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the senior lady
replied,
"I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my
condition because this
prescription is marked 'NO
REFILLS'."
