Following A Doctor’s Instructions.

A woman and her husband were in the

doctor’s office discussing her husband’s condition when the doctor asks if he could speak to the woman privately. They adjourn to another private room where the doctor sits her down.  

Doctor: “I am afraid your husband is suffering from a very rare stress related disease which can ultimately result in his death! Wife: “OH my God! Can anything be done?”  

Doctor: “As I said, it is stress related, and you must reduce all forms of stress at home. I recommend you do the following.   

  

  1. When he comes home from work, give him a hug. Ask him how his day has been, sit him in his favourite chair and maybe even bring him his slippers.  

  2. It is absolutely imperative that you do not argue with him, even if he is wrong.  

  3. Cook him all his favourite meals  

  4. Fulfil his every need in the bedroom, as any rejection could be fatal. 

If you follow my instructions to the letter I can almost guarantee you a full recovery.” As they are driving home, the husband finally breaks the silence.  

Husband: “So what the hell did the doctor say to you in there?” Wife: “He said you are going to die!”
