Big Pill

I went to the doctor with a badly swollen leg.
After a careful examination, the doctor gave me a pill big enough to choke a horse.
Then he said, "I'll be right back with some water."

Well, the doctor was gone quite a while and I lost my patience.
I hobbled out to the drinking fountain, forced the pill down my throat
and gobbled down water until the pill got all the way down.
Then I hobbled back into the examining room.

Just then the doctor came back with a bucket of warm water.
"Okay, after the tablet dissolves, soak that leg for at least 30 minutes."
