A doctor comes back into the examination room and tells the patient, "I'm really sorry, but I have some bad news." The patient says, "Oh my, what is it?" The doctor says, "You have Tom Jones disease." The patient asks, "Is it rare?" The doctor replies, "It's not unusual."

What do you call a doctor who finishes last in his medical school class? Doctor.

A man speaks frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor asks. "No, you idiot!" the man shouts. "This is her husband!"

My doctor told me to walk 5 kilometers a day. It's been 5 days and I am 25 kilometers from home and don't know how to get back!

Patient: Doctor, doctor. I've come out in spots like cherries on a cake. Doctor: You must have analogy.
Alice Morse Earle (April 27, 1851 – February 16, 1911) was an American historian and author from Worcester, Massachusetts. She was christened Mary Alice by her parents Edwin Morse and Abby Mason Clary. On 15 April 1874, she married Henry Earle of New York, changing her name from Mary Alice Morse to Alice Morse Earle. Her writings, beginning in 1890, focussed on small sociological details rather than grand details, and thus are invaluable for modern social historians. She wrote a number of books on colonial America (and especially the New England region) such as Curious Punishments of Bygone Days.
