Overheard In The Ward

Doctor: Well, Mrs. Olsen, we’ve talked about your high blood pressure and your medications. Are you experiencing any particular stress in your life?
Patient: Oh, yes! It’s the Sunbeams. They’re driving me crazy.
Doctor surprised: The sunbeams.
Patient: Yes. I’ve never had trouble with them before, but this group won’t sit still. They bounce all over the room, and run out the door and down the hall.
Doctor reaching for pen: Have you told anyone about this?
Patient: Of course. I told the president.
Doctor: Really! What did the President tell you?
Patient: She said Sunbeams are like that. I’m just going to have to learn to deal with them.
Doctor concerned that he may be missing something: I know people who are sensitive to sunbeams. Do they cause you to rash or anything?
Patient confused: A rash? No.
Doctor: What’s the biggest problem they’re creating?
Patient: It’s the noise. They just won’t quit talking.
Doctor astonished: The sunbeams are talking to you?
Patient: Well, yes. But mostly to each other.
Doctor: I see. Can anyone else hear them talking?
Patient after a moment of stunned silence: You’re not LDS, are you?
