Doctor's poker game...

A well-respected surgeon was relaxing on his sofa one evening just after arriving home from work. As he was tuning into the evening news, the phone rang. The doctor calmly answered it and heard the familiar voice of a colleague on the other end of the line.

"We need a fourth for poker," said the friend.

"I'll be right over," whispered the doctor.

As he was putting on his coat, his wife asked, "Is it serious?"

"Oh yes, quite serious," said the doctor gravely. "In fact, three doctors are there already!"

"How nice ", says Liz."Thank you - what a nice thought."

"The second card is from old Madge the cleaner who has cleaned up after all your previous operations - she is to be trusted."

"What a beautiful thought , from such a humble person -I'm really touched", says Liz. "But who is the 3rd card from?" asks Liz.

"Oh", says the doctor, "that's from Evander Holyfield -- thanking you for his new ears!!!"
