📖 The Story

Hatai said no, but last week he felt worse and went to the doctor. Dr. Siri examined him and then said, “You drink too much. Stop drinking whisky and drink milk instead.”

Hatai liked whisky and didn’t like milk. “I’m not a baby,” he always said to his wife.

Now he looked at Dr. Siri and said, “But drinking milk is dangerous, doctor.”

The doctor laughed and said, “Dangerous? How can drinking milk be dangerous?”

“Well, doctor,” Hatai said, “it killed one of my best friends last year.”

The doctor laughed again and said, “How did it do that?”

“The cow fell on him,” Hatai said.
