An
old man goes to his doctor, complaining about a pain in his
leg that doesn't heal and wants a diagnosis and explanation.
The doctor checks out his leg, but can't find anything wrong.
So he gives the old guy a full physical exam, and still can't
come up with any possible explanation for the pain. The doctor
hands the patient his bill and says, "I'm sorry but the pain
in your leg is simply caused by old age, there's nothing I can
do about it."
The old man replies with a look of disbelief, "That's impossible!
That can't be!" The Doctor says, "What do you mean? I'm the
expert here; if you know so much, how can you say it's NOT old
age?" The patient answers, "I'm no doctor but it doesn't take
a medical degree to tell that your diagnosis is wrong. Clearly
you're mistaken. After all my other leg feels just fine." "So
what?" says the doctor "What difference does that make?" "Well
it doesn't hurt a bit, and it's the SAME AGE!"
