At the clinic, a fellow is just beginning his physical checkup.
The nurse starts with certain basic items.
"How much do you weigh?"
"One-seventy." says he.
The nurse puts him on the scale.
It turns out that his weight is 193.
"Your height?"
"Five-eleven." he says.
The nurse checks and sees that he's only 5' 8 1/2".
She then takes his blood pressure ... the reading is very high.
The man explains, "Of course it's high. When I came in here, I was tall and wiry. Now, I'm short and fat ..."
