Chapter 189

"Where do you have to go to take this physical?"

"Geneva."

"When do you have to go, and would you like me to go with you?

"No, you cannot go with me, because if they find out I am getting married, they will want me to take more tests that I have to this year. I will take them next year, but I do not want to have them added this year. As far as the date is concerned, they are arranging the date now, but it will be before the 20th of the month. They are allowed a total of five hours of my time. After that they have to pay me my hourly wage."

"Do I want to know what it is?"

"Philip, please don't ask me that question, the answer will only get you ill."

"Go ahead, I can handle it."

"I have $100 that says you cannot."

"You have a bet."

"Okay, you asked for it."

"How am I going to know if you are telling the truth?"
