I went to the doctor (nothing serious) the other day. An assistant
always checks blood pressure, weight, etc. When it came to height, she
announced that I was 5' 8 1/2". Now I have been 5' 11 1/2" for years
which I politely informed the assistant. She pointed out the numbers
and insisted that the machine didn't lie. Another fellow said he had
also lost 3" in one day.

Well, when I got home, I put a try square against the wall, stood under
it, made a pencil mark on the wall, and measured. I had gained 3" in a
couple hours. I have written to Ripley's Believe it or Jam It but I
haven't heard back yet.


Maybe when you see the doctor next time you ought to mention this amazing
phenomenon to him (or her whatever the case must be)
