a series of unfortunate events
[received via email from a friend]
One morning at a doctor's surgery a patient arrives complaining of severe back pain. The doctor asks him, "What happened?"
The patient replies, "You know that I work for a local night club, right? This morning I got home to my apartment early and heard a noise in my bedroom. On entering I knew someone had been with my wife and the balcony door was open. I rushed out the balcony door and did not find anyone. As I looked down from the balcony I saw a man running out and he was dressing himself. I grabbed the fridge and threw it at him, That's how I strained my back."
The doctor examined him, found nothing serious and sent him away with some pain killers.
The next patient who came in looked as if he had been in a car wreck. The doctor said, "You look terrible! What happened to you?"
The patient replied, "Doc, you know that I’ve been unemployed for a while now. Well I got a job and today was the first day at my new job. I forgot to set my alarm and woke up late. I was running out of the building, getting dressed at the same time and, you won't believe it, but I was hit by a fridge."
The next patient who arrived looked like he had been in a train wreck.
The doctor says, "You look even worse than my previous patient! What happened to you?"
The man says, "Well. Doc, er… I was sitting in a fridge and someone threw it from the third floor!"
