And so the story goes......
There once was this doctor who had a great reputation for curing arthritis.
On the particular day in question his waiting room was packed full as usual.
His nurse came out and called out," Mrs Brown". This little old lady got up and all bent over she walked along on her walking stick into the doctors office.
About half an hour later she emerged, still with her walking stick but now walking straight and erect. As she reached the door a lady sitting there couldn't resist and she said,"My goodness, you went in there all bent over on your walking stick and now look at you, you're walking tall and erect, what a miracle."
The old lady replied,"Miracle be damned, he just gave me a longer walking stick."
