I tried bargaining with my doctor....

Dr Geoffrey: Ok, it looks bad. Second stage of gastritis. How do you feel?

Frou: (looks down at inflated tummy) I feel like a Goodyear Blimp .

Dr Geoffrey: Well, we have to rethink your diet from now on. (Flips through previous medical record) Uh oh, looks like someone here is quite a drinker.

Frou: ................

Dr Geoffrey: Ohhh! I remember you. You were the one who came in with alcohol intoxica......

Frou: Hold up! It's a very one-off incident! Never happened before!

Dr Geoffrey: How often do you drink?

Frou:.....................

Dr Geoffrey: How much do you drink?

Frou: ...................

Dr Geoffrey: Ok, no answer is my answer. So, from now on, I want you to stop consuming alcohol, nicotine and coffee

Frou: (blanks out)

Dr Geoffrey: (looks under table) Er... are you ok?

Frou: NO I AM NOT! My entire being breathes because of coffee, cigarette and gin & tonics. If I stop all three concurrently, I will cease to exist.

Dr Geoffrey: So you rather exist with stomach ulcers?

Frou: ........

Dr Geoffrey: How about a compromise. Coffee being the least of all three evils - I'll let you drink ONE cup a day in the morning. PROVIDED that you consume it with food and once the caffeine high hit, you drown it with lots and lots of water.

Frou: So if that is the logic, can I also consume cigarettes and alcohol with food and then drink lots and lots of water after that? I'm technically correct right? Right? Right? Right?

Dr Geoffrey: ...............
