A man goes to a doctor for a routine physical.

"Oh, about One-sixty-five," he answers.
The nurse puts him on the scale. It turns out that his weight is 187.
Then the nurse asks, "Do you know your height?"
"Oh, about six feet," he answers.
The nurse checks and finds that he's only 5 feet and 8 inches tall.
Then she takes his blood pressure. It's very high.
"High!" The man explains, "Of course it's high. When I came in here, I was tall and
lanky. Now, I'm short and fat!"
lanky. Now, I'm short and fat!"
