A man
is terribly overweight, so his doctor puts him on a diet.
"I want you to eat regularly
for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you'll
have lost at least five pounds." When the
man returns, he's lost nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor says. "Did you follow my instructions?"
The man nods.
"I'll tell you, though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day."
"From
hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor.
"No,
from skipping."
