The patient went to his doctor for a checkup, and the doctor wrote out
a prescription for him in his usual illegible writing. The patient put it
in his pocket, but he forgot to have it filled. Every morning for two years
he showed it to the conductor as a railroad pass. Twice it got him into
the movies, once into the baseball park and once into the symphony. He got
a raise at work by showing it as a note from the boss. One day he mislaid
it. His daughter picked it up, played it on the piano and won a scholarship
to a conservatory of music.
