An elderly man was feeling stressed, and so he decides to take a hot bath.
Just as he becomes comfortable, the doorbell rings.
The man got out of the bathtub, put on his slippers and robe and went to see who was at the door.
Well, when he opened the front door, standing there there was a salesman, who wanted to know if he needed any brushes.
Slamming the door in frustration, the man returned to his bath.
He had barely had time to take his clothes off again and sat down in the bath, when the doorbell rang again.
On went the slippers and robe, and the man started to head for the front door again.
He took one step, slipped on a wet spot on the floor, fell backwards, and hit his back against the hard porcelain bathtub.
Cursing under his breath, the man struggled into his street clothes, and with every move causing a stab of pain, he drove to the doctor.
After examining him, the doctor said to him, “You know, you’ve been very lucky. Nothing is broken. But you really need to relax. Why don’t you go home and take a long hot bath?”
