The Woman and the Hot Bath

Feeling edgy, a woman took a hot bath.

Just as she'd become comfortable, the doorbell rang. The woman got out of the tub, put on her slippers and a large towel, wrapped her head in a smaller towel, and went to the door.

A salesman wanted to know if she needed any brushes.

Slamming the door, the woman returned to the bath.

The doorbell rang again. On went the slippers and towels, and the woman started for the door again. She took one step, slipped on a wet spot, fell, and hit her back against the hard porcelain of the tub.

The woman struggled into her street clothes and, with every move a stab of pain, drove to the doctor.

After examining him, the doctor said, "Nothing's broken.

But you need to relax. Why don't you go home and take a hot bath?"
