My father-in-law had prostate surgery.. We brought him to the hospital at 7:30 a.m., and he was operated on at eight. We were amazed when the hospital called at noon to tell us he could go home.

Two months later our hound dog, Bo also had prostate surgery. When I brought him in, I asked the veterinarian what time I should pick him up. The vet told me Bo would remain overnight.

"Overnight?" I said. My father-in-law came home the same day."

The vet looked at me and said,

"Bo's not on Medicare!"
