A man goes to a doctor for a physical checkup.

The nurse starts with certain basic items. "How much do you weigh?" she asks.

"One-seventy," he says.

The nurse puts him on the scale.

It turns out that his weight is 183 pounds.

The nurse asks, "Your height?"

"Five-eleven," he says.

The nurse checks and sees that he's only 5 foot 8 1/2 inches.

She then takes his blood pressure, and it's very high.

The man explains, "Of course it's high. When I came in here, I was tall and wiry. Now, I'm short and fat!"
