    The document contains sample dialogues and jokes told by characters A, B, C and D to pass time and have some fun. In one joke, a patient asks a doctor for medicine after being stung by a scorpion, but the doctor questions if the scorpion will take the medicine. In another, a man asks God how long a millennium is and the value of money, hoping to receive some in return. The characters then share more jokes with wordplay and misunderstandings to amuse each other.
