Fathers of medicine
That’s the Greeks. Oh yes. Pioneers in the field of modern medicine, they are. Never better demonstrated than when the missus lived on Kos, home of Hippocrates, and had just been confirmed as being pregnant with Sweary Junior. She was told this joyous news by the local quack, who lazily swung on his chair and flicked his cigarette in the general direction of the already overflowing ashtray that was perched on his desk.

Of course, the question foremost in her mind was when the baby was due. His response?

The 31st of February.

Aha Greek Meds
On a similar theme many moons ago I was seeing a lass that had been a "dancer" in Greece. She would occasionally have asthma attacks and one such occasion was rushed to hospital to awake (after blacking out) to find many male doctors leaning over her and her, in all fairness magnificent, thruppenny bits out for all to see.

Ah Greek Doctors the leariest of all doctors
