IN THE FUTURE, WHEN JEFF GOES TO THE DOCTOR, HE BETTER ‘WATCH-IT’

WHEN JEFF GOES TO THE DOCTOR, HE BETTER NOT GET “TICKED-OFF”!

DID YOU NOTICE, THE LAST TWO POSTINGS, WERE “SECOND-HAND” JOKES!!!

Hey, Number Six, I like that about, “no one dies on his watch”. If in fact, one did die on his watch, it would really——-TAKE ITS TOLL.

Say, Number Six, I too will SWATCH out for your puns.

It’s a lot like a gag from A Day at the Races: Groucho, as a doctor, is checking Harpo’s pulse, and he says, “Either the patient’s dead or my watch has stopped.”

Seems like I remember Hawkeye doing this joke on MASH, dressed as Groucho of course.

Jeff takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’.
