Drabble Challenge #95

Prompt: machine

�Here for your checkup?� the front office worker asks Jerry.

�I sure am,� Jerry smiles.

�The Doctor will be with you shortly.�


Quite some time passes. Finally the nurse calls Jerry into the exam room...


�Hi Jerry, sorry to keep you waiting.�

�No problem Doc.�

�How have things been going since your last checkup?� the Doctor inquires.

�Not so good. I've been having a lot of stiffness in my joints.�

�Don't worry, John. We will have you working like a well oiled machine in no time!�

�Come on Doc. You know they stopped designing us to use oil, years ago!�
