The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, "Hello".
"Mrs. Newman, please."
"Speaking."
"Mrs. Newman, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing
Laboratory. When your doctor sent your husband's specimen to the lab
yesterday, a specimen from another Mr. Newman arrived as well,
and we are now uncertain which one is your husband's. Frankly, the
results are either bad or terrible."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Newman asks nervously.
"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the
Other one tested positive for AIDS. We can't tell which is your husband's."
"That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again?" questioned Mrs. Newman.
"Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
"The people at Medicare recommend you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."
