[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] <Joke>There once was a doctor at a pediatric hospital who knew a little magic, so he thought he'd entertain the children (daily) with his magic ability. Although he was a skilled magician, he was a truly awful showman. After several days of tormenting the children with his magical antics, one small child tricked the doctor into turning himself into an apple. He quickly scooped up the apple, stuffed it into a specimen cup and clapped a lid on it. The children were afraid that when the doctor resumed his human form, he would be angry with them, so they elected one child (who was fortuitously being discharged from the hospital that very day) to take the apple/doctor to a local wizard to see if there was some way to keep the doctor from changing back. The wizard asked many questions of the child: <BLOCKQUOTE>"How tall was he before the change?" "What was his income?" "What color were his socks?"</blockquote> He then examined the apple minutely (after extracting it from the cup). He looked at it through a magnifying glass. He polished it on his sleeve to see how well it would take a shine. He consulted many large tomes of magic with indescribable writing on their covers, examining the apple and then the page he was consulting when he thought he had found something relevant. Finally he came to a decision. He gave the apple back to the child, then he opened a small drawer and pulled out a balance beam and some weights. Handing these items to the child, he gave the following instructions: <BLOCKQUOTE>"Weigh this apple once each day, Lest the doctor come thy way!"</blockquote> The child thought that this was entirely too simple and asked why this would work. The wizard answered: <BLOCKQUOTE>"Elementary magic, child! Every apprentice knows that [b]A weigh a day keeps the doctor an apple[/b]."</blockquote> [rimshot] <center>[IMG]http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shire/8641/Wow.gif[/IMG]</center> [/QB][/QUOTE]
