An elderly man named Bill went to his doctor for his annual physical checkup.
After examining him, the doctor came back and said,
“I’m sorry, Bill, but we’ve discovered you have a condition that gives you only six weeks to live.”
Bill looked shocked.
“But Doctor,” he said, “I feel great. In fact, I haven’t felt this good in years. There must be something I can do!”
The doctor thought for a moment and then said,
“Well, you could start going to that new health spa down the street and take a mud bath every day.”
Bill smiled and asked,
“And that will cure me?”
The doctor replied,
“No… but it’ll get you used to the dirt.”
