snowyday Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Nantucket’s editor Gordon Turner tells one about the doctor who was awakened in the middle of a stormy night by a farmer pounding on his door. “What do you charge for country calls?†the farmer asked. The doctor, impatient that anyone should haggle in the middle of the night, snapped: “Ten dollars!†Thereupon, the farmer asked the doctor to drive out to his farm immediately. The doctor dressed and drove the farmer over muddy roads as fast as conditions permitted. As they stopped in front of the house, the farmer got out of the car and handed $10 to the doctor. “What’s this?†asked the surprised doctor. “There isn’t anyone sick,†the farmer explained, “but the cabby wanted $15 to bring me out here.†* * * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
