Bob was having trouble getting to sleep at night. He went to see his doctor，who prescribed some extra-strong sleeping pills.

Sunday night Bob took the pills，slept well and was awake before he heard the alarm. He took his time getting to the office，strolled in and said to his boss，“I didnt have a bit of trouble getting up this morning.”

6 Three surgeons

Three famous surgeons were bragging about their skills.

“A man came to me who had his hand cut off，” said one. “Today that man is a concert violinist.” “Thats nothing，” said another. “A guy came to me who had his legs cut off. I stitched them back on，and today that man is a marathon runner.” “I can top both of you，” said the third. “One day I came on the scene of a terrible accident. There was nothing left but a horses posterior——and a pair of glasses. Today that man is seated in United States Senate.”
