The man calls his doctor about his son having an infectious disease. The doctor advises keeping the son and maid quarantined since the son kissed the maid. However, the situation gets more complicated when the man reveals he also kissed and had sex with the maid, and likewise with his wife. The doctor realizes he may now be infected too due to the spreading of the disease from the man's infidelity.

A Laugh 15
The Cab Driver
A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the
shoulder as he wanted to ask him something. The
driver gave out a loud scream, lost control of the
car, nearly hit a van, drove up a curb and stopped
just a few inches from a shop window. For a
moment, everything went quiet in the cab and
then the driver told the passenger, “Sir, don’t ever
do that again. Did you know that you scared me
out of my wits?”
The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t
realize that a little tap would scare the daylights
out of you.”
The driver said, “Sorry, it’s not really your fault.
You know, today is my first day as a cab driver.
For the last twenty years I’ve been driving a
funeral hearse.”
Reflection
Great fear can arise when one associates
a present happening with one’s past
circumstances or experiences. Let go of
the past and future. Be mindful moment to
moment.
The Buddha said, “The past is dead and
gone. The future is yet to come. What
matters is the PRESENT. LIVE NOW.”

FROM A
LAUGH 16
Infidelity and The Doctor
A man telephoned his doctor . “Doctor, my son
has an infectious disease.”
“Then you have to keep him away from others in
the house”, the doctor said.
“But you don’t understand. He kissed the maid.”
“Well, that’s too bad. We’ll have to quarantine the
maid too,” said the doctor.
“And doctor, I kissed her and had sex with her
too,” said the guilty father.
“This is getting complicated,” the doctor
commented. “It means that you may also have got
it.”
“Yes, doctor, and unfortunately, I also kissed and
had sex with my wife.”
“Damn it,” the doctor sighed, “now I will get it
too !”
