Punishing Diagnosis

A terribly agitated man goes to the doctor.

"Doc, I really need your help. I can't sleep, I can barely eat and I think I'm losing my mind!"

The doctor tries to calm the haggard man." Now take it slow tell me what's the matter."

"Well, Doc," the man says, "my leg is talking to me. It's got me a nervous wreck and keeps me up all hours of the night."

The doctor shakes his head "Now we both know that's impossible."

The man interrupts, "No, really, Doc. Just put your ear to my knee."

The doctor does and hears a whispering, saying, "Give me five bucks. Give me five bucks."

The doctor is flabbergasted.

"That's not all, Doc. Put your ear to my calf."

The doctor does and hears more whispering: "Gimme $10. Gimme $10."

"Now listen to my ankle," the man says.

The doctor hears, "I need $20. I need $20."

"What is it, Doc? What's going on?"

The doctor stops to consider and says, "Well, sir, the only thing I can figure is, your leg's broke in three places."
