My family physician told me of an incident that
actually happened to him back in the early days
of his practice.

He said a woman brought her baby to see him,
and he determined right away that the baby had
an earache. He wrote a prescription for ear drops.
In the directions he wrote, "Put two drops in right
ear every four hours" and he abbreviated "right"
as an R with a circle around it.

Several days passed, and the woman returned
with her baby, complaining that the baby still had
an earache, and his little behind was getting really
greasy with all those drops of oil.

The doctor looked at the bottle of ear drops and
sure enough, the pharmacist had typed the
following instructions on the label:

"Put two drops in R ear every four hours."

A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

I did not object to the object.

The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

The bandage was wound around the wound.

There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

They were too close to the door to close it.

The buck does funny things when the does are present.

They sent a sewer down to stitch the tear in the sewer line.

To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

After a number of injections my jaw got number.

Upon seeing the tear in my clothes I shed a tear.

I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Speaking of Will Rogers, my favorite by him is;

"There are too many people spending money they don't have,
to buy things they don't need,
to impress people they don't like."
