Jim went to see his doctor…
Jim went to see his doctor because he had come down with a flu and the doctor wrote out a prescription for him in his usual illegible writing.
He put it in his pocket but, in the end, he forgot to get the tablets from the pharmacy.
Every morning, for two years, he showed it to the conductor as a railroad pass. Twice, it got him into the movies, once into the soccer stadium, and once into the symphony. He got a raise at work by showing it as a note from his boss. One day he mislaid it.
His daughter picked it up, played it on the piano and won a scholarship to the conservatory of music.
