A man goes to a doctor for a routine physical. The nurse starts with the basics.

"How much do you weigh?" she asks. "Oh, about 165." he says. The nurse puts him on the scale. It turns out that his weight is 187.

The nurse asks, "Your height?" "Oh, about six feet," he says. The nurse checks and sees that he's only 5 feet 9 inches.

She then takes his blood pressure, and it's very high. "High!" The man explains, "Of course it's high. When I came in here, I was tall and lanky. Now, I'm short and overweight!"
