A doctor finally saw his elderly patient after a month of trying to contact him.
The doctor said:
“I see you’re over a month late for your check-up. Don’t you know that nervous disorders require prompt and regular attention? What’s your excuse?”
The patient answered:
“I was just following your orders, Doc.”
“Following my orders? What are you talking about? I gave you no such order.”
The patient said:
“You told me to avoid people who irritate me.”
