How is this my fault?

Dr. Grumpy: "Any problems with the new medication?"

Mr. Bond: "Doc, sometimes I just like to have a martini, and the other night, when I really wanted one, I couldn't have one. It's very frustrating."

Dr. Grumpy: (reviews chart) "But James, there's no reason I see here why you couldn't have a martini every now and then."

Mr. Bond: (shakes head) "You don't understand."

Dr. Grumpy: "So what's the problem?"

Mr. Bond: "I was out of olives."

    That is a good old joke, but the rejoinder is : Anyone who runs out of olives is really drinking too much.

    The "nitwits" are the majority of the population. Look at my blog, these are normal people who say and do stupid things. Remember, by definition, 50% of the population has an IQ less than 100.

    You left out the next part of the conversation.

    Mr. Bond: "Do you expect me to drink a martini without olives?"

    Dr. Grumpy: "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."

    You said "medication," he heard "martini-cation."

    What's wrong with you? Why didn't you write him a prescription for olives in the first place?

    I completely understand. A martini without olives is just....uncivilized!

    So switch to bourbon. It's much better for you.

    This could have been my dad unti recently. He is now 88 and doesn't have his martini anymore, which is a good thing. He would always play these games with his primary and his neuro. Over and over again to deflect any real topics from coming up. But I guess if he can still crack a joke and try and charm it's not all bad.
