Worth the read

An elderly lady is sitting next to a young man on the bus:

Old lady: If there's one thing I believe, it's that we have to fix the healthcare system. My parents were never in the hospital a day in their lives. My father had some liniment — I don't know if it was Watkins Liniment or not — and you could just put it on your joints if they hurt. You could drink it, too. That's what we need, is something like that that cures everything. There's just no excuse today for anyone to be sick, with all the knowledge that we have. But people are lazy and stupid. It's a little harder to be smart than stupid, but it's so worth it. But people eat things that would make a dog sick. Are you married?

Young man shakes his head no.

Old lady: Well, when you get married, you'll find that the first couple of meals that your wife makes will be a little tough to swallow, but you'll get used to it.
