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, zut 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!’
