Doctor: what can I do for you today Mrs. Jones?
Mrs Jones: Doctor, I'm having more problem with my breathing lately, my feethurt when I walk, and my ankles are swelling in the afternoons. Do you think there's something wrong with my heart?
Later,
Mr Jones: well, did the doctor figure out what's going on with you?
Mrs Jones: he says I'm highly adipose and I would feel better if I lost some weight.
Mr Jones: how much weight?
Mrs Jones: about 80 pounds. Do you think our insurance would cover liposuction if I said my doctor recommended it?
