Your Halo Is Too Tight!
(Originally in Chinese)
A pious believer was very serious in his spiritual cultivation. He
went to church every Sunday and never missed a ceremony or a
baptism. One day, he went to see the doctor. The doctor
checked his pulse and gave him a thorough medical checkup,
but failed to diagnose anything."You don't seem to be ill," the
doctor said.
"If I were not ill, then why would I be here consulting you?"
he asked.
"Do you indulge in unhealthy pleasures?" the doctor asked
"No! I have three meals a day, at regular hours and in a fixed
quantity; I don't take an extra grain."
"Then have you been drinking too much? You'd better stop
drinking!"
"Of course not! I don't even drink a drop of alcohol; I drink
only plain water."
"Do you often work late? Do you know that working late is
bad for your health?"
"Never! I turn in at half-past nine every night, and I get up
at six in the morning. This is my daily routine, without the
slightest exception."
The doctor began to get confused. "Do you smoke or take
drugs?"
"That is impossible! I get sick just seeing others smoke,
let alone smoking tobacco myself!"
"Then do you indulge in carnal pleasure?" the doctor
asked again.
"How can that be? I am still a bachelor, and I virtually do
not know what a woman is." The doctor could not think of
anything else, so he gave it a last try. "Do you have a
headache?"
"Yes, you are right! I have a severe headache, and no
medicine can relieve my pain."
"But of course. The halo around your head is too tight!"
the doctor said.
光圈太紧了
有一个宗教的信徒，他非常认真修行，每个星期天一定去教堂，
任何的法会、洗礼会他都一定参加。有一次他去看医生，医生
帮他把脉、检查身体每个地方，都找不到任何问题，然后医生
就问他：‘你好像没病啊？’信徒说：‘没病的话，我来找你
做什么呢？’医生又问：‘那你是不是吃喝玩乐太过度了？’
他说：‘不会啊，我每天三餐定时定量，多一粒米也不吃。’
医生又问：‘那你是不是喝酒太多了？酒最好不要喝啦！’
他说：‘哪里！我一滴也不喝，我只喝白开水而已。’然后
医生再问：‘那你是不是常常熬夜？熬夜对身体不好，你知道吗？’
他说：‘哪里！我晚上九点半就睡觉了，早上六点就起床，每天
这个样子，一点点都不差。’
医生已经开始混淆了，说：‘那你是不是有抽烟、吸吗啡？’
信徒说：‘唉！那些根本不用谈，我看到人家抽烟已经讨厌
了，何况自己抽！’医生继续问：‘那是不是纵欲过度啊？’
他说：‘哪里！我还是单身汉，根本不知道女人是什么！’
医生没办法了，最后又问：‘那你是不是会头痛？’那个
病人说：‘对、对、对！就是头痛，痛得厉害，吃什么药
都不好。’医生说：‘就是嘛！你头上的光圈太紧了！’
