A new patient arrived at the doctor’s office for his appointment.

After checking in at the front desk, a blonde nurse came out, called his name, and led him down the hallway to a small curtained cubicle.

She handed him a gown and said, “Please undress. The doctor will be with you shortly.”

The man looked at her in surprise.

“Undress?” he asked. “But I’m only here for an ingrown toenail.”

The nurse nodded calmly. “I understand, sir, but it’s office policy. All patients must undress before seeing the doctor.”

The man frowned.

“That’s ridiculous,” he complained. “I came in because my toe hurts. Why on earth would I need to take all my clothes off for that?”

The nurse simply smiled politely and left him there.

The man muttered under his breath as he began removing his jacket and shoes.

“This is the stupidest rule I’ve ever heard,” he grumbled. “Making someone undress just to look at a toe.”

Just then, a tired voice came from the next curtained cubicle.

“You think that’s bad?” the voice said.

The patient paused.

The voice continued:

“I just came to fix the phones!”
