A girl walked up to the information desk in her local hospital and said, “I need to see the intern, please.”
“I think you mean the ‘intern,’ don’t you?” asked the nurse on duty.
“Yes,” said the girl. “I want to have an examination.”
“Don’t you mean ‘examination’?” the nurse questioned her again.
“Well, I want to go to the maternity ward, anyway.”
“I’m sure you mean the maternity ward.”
To which the girl replied: “Intern, examination; maternity, fraternity… What’s the difference? All I know is I haven’t menstruated in two months, and I think I’m pregnant.”
