REGINALD'S NEW DIET

REGINALD WAS TERRIBLY OVERWEIGHT,

SO HIS DOCTOR PLACED HIM ON A STRICT 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”

HIS DOCTOR ASSURED HIM.

WHEN REGINALD RETURNED HE SHOCKED

HIS DOCTOR BY HAVING LOST

ALMOST TWENTY POUNDS.

“WHY, THAT'S AMAZING”,

THE DOCTOR SAID,

GREATLY IMPRESSED,

“YOU CERTAINLY MUST HAVE FOLLOWED

MY INSTRUCTIONS.”

REGINALD NODDED,

'I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THOUGH,

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DROP DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY.”

WHY, FROM HUNGER?”

ASKED HIS DOCTOR.

“NO, FROM ALL THAT SKIPPING.”
