THE LITTLE COLLECTION OF HUMOR
This guy goes to the doctor because he's not sleeping too well. After examining him, the doctor advises him that he's suffering from stress and that he should go away for two weeks for some change and some rest. So the guy goes away for two weeks, then returns to report in to the doctor.
"Well," asked the doctor, "did the change and rest do you any good?" "Not much," said the disgruntled patient. "The doorman got my change and the hotel got the rest!"
