On January 2, 1998, Mr. C, an obese, white caucasian male, who appeared approximately 65 years old, but who could not accurately state his age, presented to my family practice office with complaints of generalized aches and pains, sore red eyes, depression, and general malaise.

SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute.
SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I'll go this way. He cannot follow both of us.
So they split up and the man decided to go after Sister Logical. Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is worried more...

earlier. Adam said, "This morning Eve and I made love for the first time."
