Just Clowning Around

Liv Fun: Vol 9 – Issue 1

Sporting a white doctor’s coat, a bit of bright make-up, and a large, red rubber nose, Robert Mason, aka Dr. Geezer, strolls down the wide hospital corridor handing out smiley stickers to the awestruck patients and visitors he encounters.

Making his rounds, Dr. Geezer pokes his head into a silent room. His appearance elicits a smiling welcome from the lonely occupant. At first glance, the doctor diagnoses the patient’s problem. She is suffering from the all-too-common ailment known as “hospitalitis.”

The good doctor gets down to business by examining his patient to make sure her funny bone remains intact. During the exam, he rambles off a few corny jokes to ensure the all-important appendage still functions properly.

As a final test, he delicately places a matching rubber nose on the young lady’s smiling face. If it elicits a giggle, Dr. Geezer knows his treatment has been successful.

It works. After some light-hearted conversation, Dr. Geezer bids farewell to his patient with the following words of wisdom:

You should be grateful for three things:

First, you’re in a great hospital.

Secondly, you should be grateful for all the support you’re getting from relatives and friends.

And, most importantly, you should be very grateful I’m not your real doctor.
