Too Clever
  A farmer who lived in a small village suffered from a severe pain in the chest. This never seemed to get any better. The farmer eventually decided that he would consult a doctor in the nearest town. But as he was a miserly person he thought he would find out what he would have to pay this doctor.He was told that a patient had to pay three pounds for the first visit and one pound for the second visit. The farmer thought about this for a long time, and then he decided to go and consult the doctor in the town.
  As he came into the doctor's consulting room he said casually, "Good morning, doctor.Here I am again." The doctor was a little surprised. He asked him a few questions, examined his chest and then took the pound which the farmer insisted on giving him. Then the doctor said with a smile, "Well, sir. There's nothing new. Please continue to take the same medicine I gave you the first time you came to see me."
