Tilted Halos

A man walked into the doctor's office and said,"Doctor I have this awful headache that never leaves me. Could you give me something for it? '

"I will said the doctor, "but I want to check a few things out first. Tell me, do you drink alot of liquor?"
"Liquor?" said the man indignantly. "I never touch the filthy stuff."
   "How about smoking/"
   "I think smoking is disgusting. I've never in my life touched tobacco."
"I'm a bit embarrased to ask this, but - you know the way some men are - do you do any running around at night?"

"of course not. What do you take me for? I'm in bed by ten o'clock every night"

"Well what sort of pain is it?"

"Its kind of a shooting pain"

"you know what I think is wrong with you?"

"whats that doctor?"

"YOUR HALO IS SLIPPING !! "
