An old man goes to his doctor, complaining about a pain in his leg that doesn’t heal, and wants a diagnosis and explanation. The doctor checks out his leg, but can’t find anything wrong, so he gives the old guy a full physical exam, and still can’t come up with any possible explanation for the pain.
**The doctor hands the patient his bill and says, “I’m sorry, but the pain in your leg is simply caused by old age; there’s nothing I can do about it.”
**The old man replies with a look of disbelief, “That’s impossible! That can’t be!”
**The Doctor says, “What do you mean? I’m the expert here; if you know so much, how can you say it’s NOT old age?”
**The patient answers, “I’m no doctor but it doesn’t take a medical degree to tell that your diagnosis is wrong. Clearly you’re mistaken. After all, my other leg feels just fine.”
**“So what?” says the doctor “What difference does that make?” **“Well it doesn’t hurt a bit, and it’s the SAME AGE!” **
