Mrs. Ward receives a phone call. "Hello, Mrs. Ward? This is Dr. Vial from the lab. I'm calling about your husband's lab results but I'm afraid I have some bad news. It seems that another John Ward came into the lab on the same day and now we can't tell which specimen is whose. The results are either very bad or awful."

"What do you mean?" gasps Mrs. Ward.

"Well, one specimen came back positive for Alzheimer's and the other is positive for AIDS."

"Can't you just run the tests again?" Mrs Ward asks.

"Ordinarily we would but these tests are expensive and your insurance will only allow us to do them once."

Mrs. Ward gasps again. "What should we do?"

"Well, your insurance rep suggests that you drop your husband off in the middle of town. If he finds his way back home, don't sleep with him."
