THE DOCTOR'S DRINK

A DOCTOR MADE IT HIS REGULAR HABIT T

O STOP OFF AT A BAR

FOR A HAZELNUT DAIQUIRI

ON HIS WAY HOME.

THE BARTENDER KNEW OF HIS HABIT

AND WOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE

DRINK WAITING AT PRECISELY 5:03 P.M.

ONE AFTERNOON, AS THE END OF

THE WORK DAY APPROACHED,

THE BARTENDER WAS DISMAYED

TO FIND THAT HE WAS OUT OF

HAZELNUT EXTRACT.

THINKING QUICKLY,

HE THREW TOGETHER A DAIQUIRI

MADE WITH HICKORY NUTS

AND SET IT ON THE BAR.

THE DOCTOR CAME IN

AT HIS REGULAR TIME,

TOOK ONE SIP OF THE DRINK

AND EXCLAIMED,

"THIS ISN'T A HAZELNUT DAIQUIRI!"

"NO, I'M SORRY, "

REPLIED THE BARTENDER,

"IT'S A HICKORY DAIQUIRI, DOC."
