A man goes to consult Dr. Mike Wilson, the most expensive doctor in the city about his medical problem.
After the visit the man asks, "How much do I owe you?"
"My fee is five hundred dollars," replies Dr. Wilson.
"Five hundred dollars? That's impossible. No one charges that much!"
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

When my grandmother was in her late eighties, she decided to move to Israel. As part of the preparations, she went to see her doctor and get all her charts.
The doctor asked her how she was doing, so she gave him the litany of complaints -- this hurts, that's stiff, I'm tired and slower, etc., etc., etc.
He responded with, "Mrs. Siegel, you have to expect things to start deteriorating. After all, who wants to live to 100?"
My grandmother looked him straight in the eye and replied, "Anyone who's 99."

One day a cowboy walked into a blacksmith shop and picked up a horseshoe, not realizing that it had just come from the forge. He immediately dropped it and jammed his hand into his pocket, trying to act as if nothing had happened.
The blacksmith noticed and asked with a grin, "Kind of hot, wasn't it?"
"Nope," answered the cowboy through clenched teeth, "it just doesn't take me long to look at a horseshoe."
