A woman was having some trouble with her heart,
so she went to see the doctor.He was a new doctor,and did not know her,
so he first asked some questions,and one of them was,
"How old are you?" "Well,"she answered,
"I don't remember,doctor,but I will try to think."
She thought for a minute and then said,"Yes,I remember now,doctor!
When I married,I was eighteen years old,and my husband was thirty.
Now my husband is sixty,I know.And that is twice thirty.
So I am twice eighteen.That is thirty-six,isn't it?"
