Cinderella is now 95 years old. 

After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince,
 
she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching
 
the world go by from her front porch, with a cat
 
named Bob for companionship. 

One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, appeared the
 
fairy godmother.
 



Cinderella said, 'Fairy Godmother, what are you
 
doing here after all these years'? 

The fairy godmother replied, 'Cinderella, you have
 
lived an exemplary life since I last saw you. Is there
 
anything for which your heart still yearns?' 

Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, and after some
 
thoughtful consideration, she uttered her first wish: 


'The prince was wonderful, but not much of an investor. 
I'm living hand to mouth on my disability cheques, and
 
I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension. 
Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold. 

Cinderella said, 
'Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother' 

The fairy godmother replied,
'It is the least that I can do.
What do you want for your second wish?' 

Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said,
'I wish I were young and full of the beauty and youth
 
I once had.' 



At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful
 
young visage returned. Cinderella  felt stirrings inside
 
her that had been dormant for years. 

And then the fairy godmother spoke once more:
'You have one more wish; what shall it be?' 



Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the
 
corner and says, 'I wish for you to transform Bob,
 
my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man.' 
Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental
 
a change in his biological make-up that, when he stood
 
before her, he was a man so beautiful the likes of him
 
neither she nor the world had ever seen. 


The fairy godmother said, 'Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new life.'

With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the fairy godmother was gone as suddenly as she appeared. 

For a few eerie moments, 

Bob and Cinderella looked into each other's eyes. 


Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful,
 
stunningly perfect man she had ever seen. 

Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed
 
in her rocking chair, & held her close in his young
 
muscular arms. 

He leaned in close, blowing her golden hair with his
 warm breath as he whispered...

'Bet you're sorry now that you cut my nuts off.'

This is a true story.

While a professor of medicine at Oxford University, Dr Osler was lecturing to a room full of medical students and emphasizing the importance of being a good observer and picking up details, since careful observations could frequently aid in diagnosis and thereby help the patient. Sitting in front of Osler was a bottle of urine that was to be analyzed.

Pointing out that a diabetic patient’s urine often had sugar in it, he reportedly put his index
finger into the urine and brought his hand to his mouth to taste the urine. He then passed the bottle around the room and asked the students to duplicate what they had seen in order to test their attention to detail. Each student in turn put their finger in the urine and reluctantly tasted it.

After the bottle had made its rounds through the room, Osler said, “Now you will understand what I mean when I speak about details, because had you really been watching, you would have seen that I put my index finger into the urine, but my middle finger into my mouth.”
