An article in the New Yorker years and years ago was about a middle-aged bloke who paid a visit to a doctor—not, obviously, his regular one (if he had a regular one)—and when he entered the doctor’s office, the doctor was nonplussed by the fellow’s appearance: he was bright orange. Not like Trump, but a true reddish-orange. Doctor kept his composure, got the fellow seated, and discreetly asked what the trouble was.
“I have stomach pains”, the guy said.
(Spoiler alert: turned out the guy was a world-class consumer of tomato juice, and that the stomach pains were unrelated to that fact.)

I saw “1917” yesterday. Compared to that this guy is a picture of good health.

Not a “problem”, exactly, but I’m still alive, and I don’t understand why.

Next she’ll ask him to rate the pain on a scale of 1 to 10 – see today’s ‘Bliss’.

I’m sorry, sir; but unless you’re having a heart attack, you’ll need to take a seat in the waiting room!

If I walked into my hometown ER like that, they’d accuse me of exaggerating my problem.
