Mysterious Leg Problem

The patient said, "Doc, you must check my leg. Something's

wrong. Just put your ear up to my thigh, and you'll hear

it!" The doctor cautiously placed his ear to the man's thigh

and heard, "Give me $10! I'm desperate! I need $10!"


"I've never seen or heard anything like this before! How

long has this been going on?" the doctor asked.


"That's nothing, Doc. Put your ear to my knee." The doctor

put his ear to the man's knee and heard it say, "Please! I

really need $5! Just $5! Please! I'm desperate!"


The doctor was truly dumbfounded. "Sir, I really don't know

what to tell you. I've never seen anything like this."


"Wait, Doc, that's not all of it. There's more. Just put

your ear down on my ankle," the man urged him. The doctor

did as the man said and was amazed to hear his ankle plead,

"Please, I just need $20! Please lend me $20, please! I am

really desperate!"


"I have no idea what to tell you. There's nothing about it

in any of my books," the doctor said as he frantically

searched all his medical reference books. "However, I can

make a well-educated guess. Based on life and all my

previous experiences, I can tell you with some certainty


that your leg seems to be broke in three places."
