After his examamination the doctor said to the man,
"You appear to be in good health.
Do you have any medical concerns you would like
to ask me about?"

"In fact, I do," said the man.
"After I have sex with my wife "I'm usually hot and sweaty,
and then, after I have sex with her the secondtime,
I'm usually cold and chilly."

After examining his wife, the doctor said,
"Everything appears to be fine.
Do you have any medical concerns
that you would like to discuss with me?"

The lady replied that she had no questions or concerns.

The doctor then said to her,
"Your husband had an unusual concern.
He claims that he is usually hot and sweaty
after having sex with you the first time,
and then cold and chilly after the second time.
Do you know why?"

"Oh that crazy old fart," she replied.
"That's because the first time is usually in August
and the second time is in January."
