ANECDOTE

DOCTORS ARE OFTEN ANNOYED BY MIDDLE-OF-THE-NIGHT PHONE
CALLS. IT IS ESPECIALLY IRRITATING WHEN THE CALLER SAYS
(AT 3a.m.) "OH, DID I WAKE YOU UP?" TO THIS THE DOCTOR
RETORTS "WHY NO, I HAD TO GET UP ANYWAY TO ANSWER THE PHONE!"

Submitter comment: I REMEMBER MY DAD (AN M.D.) AND HIS BUDDIES OFTEN LAUGHING
OVER THIS ONE.
