When a doctor remarked on a new patient’s extraordinarily ruddy complexion, he said, “High blood pressure, Doc. It runs in my family.”
“Your mother’s side or your father’s?” the doctor asked.
“Neither,” the patient replied. “It’s from my wife’s family.”
“Oh, come now,” said the doctor. “How could your wife’s family give you high blood pressure?”
He sighed. “You oughta meet ’em sometime.”
