One day in Dublin Mrs. Redmond meets her old friend, Mrs. O'Brien, whom
she hasn't seen in a while.  So they exchange news, Mrs. Redmond telling
Mrs. O'Brien that she'd recently been to the doctor's.

"Oh, is that so?" says Mrs.O'Brien.  "As a matter of fact, I've been
meaning to go to the doctor's myself, but I've been feeling poorly so
I haven't."

"Well," says Mrs. Redmond, "I was feeling awful, sure there was
something terribly wrong with me.  So I went to see the doctor.
He tells me to take off all my clothes, which I do, & proceeds to
examine me all over.  Then he tells me to put my clothes back on.
After I'm dressed, I ask him, `Doctor, what's wrong with me?' He
says, `Mrs. Redmond, there's absolutely nothing wrong.  You have
acute paranoia.'  So I answers back, `Doctor, I came here to be
examined, not admired!'  Then he mutters to himself, `Begorrah!
I don't know what her problem is.  It must be the drink.'  So I
says to him, `Well, next time make sure you're sober!'"
