Dad? Dad!

Old man: An hour I’m waiting here! What’s the point in making appointments if they make you wait?
Middle-aged son: What’s your hurry, Dad? You have no place else to go.
Old man: That’s not the point! When they make an appointment they should take you in at that time!
Middle-aged son: Hey, Dad, that’s why they call it a ‘waiting room.’ See all these people? They all have appointments, too.
Old man: When I see that doctor I’m gonna give her a piece of my mind.
Middle-aged son: I wouldn’t do that if I were you, Dad. One little injection and they’ll carry you out of here dead, and nobody’s gonna ask why a 91-year-old man died suddenly.
