A doctor says grimly to a patient, “You are a very sick man. You’ve been diagnosed with covid, monkey pox, swine flu, Ebola, and bubonic plague all at the same time.”

“Is there anything that can be done to help me?” asks the patient.

“Amazingly, there is though it may be touch and go,” says the doctor nervously. “First, we’ll put you in a private room where you’ll have everything you need to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Next, we’ll put you on a diet of pancakes, pizza and flounder.”

“Okay…” says the patient, “But why pancakes, pizza and flounder?”

“Because,” the doctor says, “That’s the only food we can push under your door.”
