Pneumonia

              “It’s just a cold,” the doctor said. “There is no cure, and you’ll just have to live with it until it goes away.”

              “But Doctor,” the patient whined. “It’s making me so miserable.”

              The doctor rolled his eyes toward the ceiling. Then he said, “Look, go home and take a hot bath. Then put a bathing suit on and run around the block three or four times.”

              “What!” the patient exclaimed. “I'll get pneumonia!”

              “We have a cure for pneumonia,” the doctor said.
