At the Health Clinic

Doctor: So, you teach. What subject?

Me: Economics.

Fifteen minutes now pass without discussing my sore throat at all. Instead, I am quizzed about health care reform, the recession, the Euro...

From now on, when asked that question, I think I shall answer, "Seventeenth-century Albanian literature."
