Chaim Yankel was overdue for his appointment with Dr. Epstein so Dr. Epstein called him at home to check up on him. “Chaim Yankel!” said Dr. Epstein. “You're over a month late for your appointment. Don't you know that nervous disorders like yours require prompt and regular attention? What's your excuse?
“I was just following your orders, Dr. Epstein,” replied Chaim Yankel.
“What are you talking about?” asked Dr. Epstein. “I gave you no such order.”
“Sure you did,” replied Chaim Yankel. “You told me to avoid people who cause me stress and irritate me.”
