JUST A JOKE ( 1 )

Dr. Quek made a routine house call to Mr. Lim, one of his elderly patients.
He asks, 'And how are you doing today, Mr. Lim?'

Mr. Lim replies, 'I feel just fine, doc. But you know, it's the
strangest thing.

The doctor tells her, 'Mrs. Lim, I'm a little concerned about

bathroom door, the light somehow goes on....'

At which point, Mrs. Lim yells, 'Aiyoh, Ah Seng! Ah Pa pang jio
in the fridge again!'
