Waking up in the recovery room after surgery, I discovered my throat was dry and sore from the oxygen tube they had inserted. One of the nurses asked
if I would like some ice chips to help alleviate the problem.
 "You know what," I said to her, "I'll give you ten dollars if you bring me a soft drink."
 
 "Ten dollars?" she said. "Mr. Lucas, this is a hospital. A Dr Pepper here costs a hundred dollars."
