The man looked a little worried when the doctor came in to
administer his annual physical, so the first thing the doctor
did was to ask whether anything was troubling him.
"Well, to tell the truth, Doc, yes," answered the patient.
"You see, I seem to be getting forgetful. No, it's actually
worse than that. I can never remember where I park my car,
where I'm going, or what it is I'm going to do once I get there
-- if I get there. So, I really need your help. What can I do?"
The doctor mused for a moment and considered the real
priorities, then answered in his kindest tones,
"Pay me in advance."
