一人走进一家诊所。

那人伸出舌头,医生很快地看了一下。
“好了,把舌头缩回去吧。”医生说,“你的病因很明显。你需要更多的运动。”
“但是,医生,”那人说,“我不认为----”
“不要告诉我你认为怎么样,”医生说,“我是医生,不是你。我知道你需要什么。我看过数以百计的你这样的病人。他们没有一个人锻炼过。他们整天坐在办公室里,晚上就坐在电视机前。你所需要的是每天至少快跑20分钟。”
“医生,你不知道,”病人说,“我----”
“我不想听任何理由。”医生说,“你应该抽出时间来运动。如果你不锻炼,那么当你老的时候,你就会变得很胖,并且有健康问题。”
“但我每天都走路的,”病人说。
“喔,是的。我知道那是一种怎样的散步。你走几英尺的路,从家到火车站,又走几英尺从车站到办公室,然后走几英尺从办公室到餐馆去吃中饭再回来。那不是真正的散步。我所说的是每天在公园里散步20分钟。”
“请听我说,医生!”病人叫起来,对那位自以为什么都知道的医生很生气。

医生闷在那里半天无语。然后他轻声地说:“再把你的舌头伸出来,行吗?”
