"I'm phoning for an appointment to see the doctor today"

"Your'e kidding", said the receptionist. "He's booked up until the 8th of May."

"But that's a week on Friday, I really can't wait till then."

"Tough", said the old cow. "That's Friday the 8th at 10."

"But ... my throat is really sore and I've got pains in my head.
I feel so sick and weak that I can hardly get out of bed.

""Then take a couple of aspirins", said the horrid bitch from hell
"and don't forget to cancel if by next week you feel well".
