Old Carl went to see a doctor. The doctor examined him and said, "Medicine can't help you. You must have a good rest. Go to a quiet place for a month. You should go to bed early, drink some milk, walk a lot and smoke one cigar a day." "Thank you very much, " said Old Carl, "I will do everything you say."

A month later Old Carl came to the doctor again. The doctor said, "I'm glad to see you. You look much younger." "Oh, doctor," said Old Carl, "I had a good rest. I went to bed early, I drank a lot of milk, and I walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me. But you asked me to smoke one cigar a day, which nearly killed me at first. It's no joke to start smoking at my age."
