A Dip Into The Future
It is 1956 and a certain President has been elected again and the country has become accustomed to socialized medicine.
A man feeling ’the need of medical service went to the building arranged for that purpose and upon entering the front door found himself faced with a battery of doors, each marked with the name of an ailment, such as appendicitis, heart trouble, cancer, etc.
He felt sure his tffcuble would be diagnosed as appendicitis so he entered the door marked herewith and upon entering found himself faced with two doors, one marked male and the other, female.
Of course he entered the door marked male and immediately found himself in a corridor where there were two doors, one marked Protestant and one marked Catholic.
Since he was Protestant he entered the proper door, and found himself facing two doors, one marked white and one marked colored.
He entered the white door and again found himself faced with two doors, one marked taxpayer and one marked non-taxpayer.
He still owned an equity in his home so he went through the door marked taxpayer end found himself still confronted with doors, marked married and single.
He had a wife at home so he entered the proper door and once more there were two doors, marked Republican and Democrat.
He was a Republican so he entered the proper door and—fell nine floors to an alley.
Thus ends the story.
