JOKE

THERE WAS A MAN WHO HAD A VERY WANTON, BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
ONE DAY SHE WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR A CHECKUP AND HER
HUSBAND DECIDED TO PICK HER UP. WHEN HE CAME INTO
THE OFFICE, HE FOUND THEM HAVING A PASSIONATE AFFAIR.
HIS WIFE WAS ABOVE THE DOCTOR. THE DOCTOR TRYING
VAINLY TO COVER UP SAID, "I'M TAKING HER TEMPERATURE!"
THE MAN SAID, "I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MEDICINE, BUT
THAT THING HAD BETTER HAVE NUMBERS ON IT WHEN IT
COMES OUT!"
