Laughter Medicine. To Bathe or Not? 🚿

A person came to consult me now for joint pain. I asked “Do you have any other problem?” He replied “My major problem is that I develop very severeeee itching after bathing.( severe spelt in a way appropriate to his expression of his complaint).” I asked him “Is it after bathing in warm or cold water?.”He replied “ Whether it is very hot or hot or warm or cold or very cold water I experience itching.”Till then I was not aware of the diversity of the state of existence of water😢 in various avatars. I asked him “How is your itching now?.”He was in great smiles and replied “No itching since 5 days.”I asked him “Did you bathe for the last 5 days?”He replied “ No”. I took my professional fees and then told him that this is the best treatment I can offer to him. Requested him to change his residence to Chennai.He asked “Why?”.I replied “We have no water to drink and where is the question of having a bath?” He told me “You have the sea.”I replied “I also see the sea daily but in the sea there is water, water 💦 everywhere but not a drop to drink 🍸.”He thanked me profusely for the treatment suggested and finally asked me “To bathe or not to bathe?”. I replied “Ask Shakespeare’s Hamlet” and took to heels 👠 in fear of he asking me to refund him the professional charges.🤣🤣🤣
