One day Jimmy Daugherty encountered Dr. Sartorius when leaving George Reid's soda parlor. Jimmy said, "Doc, my left ear hurts. What do you think it could be?

Doc looked at his ear and said, "It's nothing serious. You probably slept on it wrong."

Two days later Jimmy got a bill in the mail from Dr. Sartorius for $5.00 for "Consultation".

Is that Brian May on that poster? If not, it should be. . . . .a little trivia - Brian May, lead guitarist for Queen, holds a PhD in Astrophysics for Imperial College in London. Yes, a real, legitimate Doctor of Astrophysics. It is said that he wanted a legitimate source of income in case his music career didn't work out. You're welcome.
