A man walked into a doctor's examining(检查) room.

“Put out your tongue(舌头)” the doctor said.

The man put out his tongue and the doctor looked at it quickly.

“OK. You can put your tongue back now,” the doctor said. “It's clear what's wrong with you. You need more exercise.”

“But, doctor,” the man said. “I don't think. . .”

“Don't tell me what you think,” the doctor said. “I'm the doctor, not you. I know what you need. I see hundreds of people like you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening. What you need is to walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day.”

“Doctor, you don't understand,” the patient said, “I. . .”

“I don't want to hear any excuses,” the doctor said. “You must find time for exercise. If you don't, you will get fat and have health problems when you are older.”

“But I walk every day,” the patient said.

“Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few feet(尺) to the train station from your house, a few more feet from your office to a restaurant for lunch and back. That's not real walking. I'm talking about a walk in the park for twenty minutes every day.

“Will you listen to me, doctor!” the patient shouted, getting angry with the doctor who thought he knew everything.

“I'm a mailman,” the patient went on, “and I walk for seven hours every day!”
