How can you lose a pair of crutches?

I am the doctor.

Can you tell me whether you’ve got AIDS?

I’ve got some crutches at home as well as these here. What do you mean

Why would anybody have two pairs of crutches?

Well I’m very prone to losing things.

Losing crutches is difficult. You can’t put them into a drawer

Well if you had my eyesight you would understand

I’m sorry,I didn’t realise you were blind

I think I’m going deaf as well.

So you can’t walk without crutches you can’t see much and now you can’t hear very well

How is your appetite?

I wouldn’t say no to meringue.

But you might be diabetic.

What does it matter now ? I could walk into the road not seeing that there’s a double decker bus arriving and then I could get killed or alternatively even with crutches my balance is not very good so I could go for the walk along the the White cliffs of Dover and fall into the sea so why should I worry about being diabetic?

Even having rheumatoid arthritis osteoarthritis and unstable angina there’s no protection against other diseases such as diabetes or cancer.

Well what do you want me to do, commit suicide?

That would not be easy in your condition unless you walk in front of a Lorry.

You couldn’t be sure that it would kill me

I might walk behind the lorry with my eyesight

In one way it’s good that it might not kill you but on the other hand if you really want to die then it will be disappointing to wake up with two broken legs two broken arms and a fractured skull but still alive.

It’s an interesting way to think about something that can be positive or negative depending on  the mindset. There seem to be lots of adverts for the Samaritans.

On Facebook they’re also asking us to donate to Mind.

Everybody seems to be mentally ill now including me.

And that was thoughts for today
