They say, “This should be taken care of right away.”
They mean: “I’d planned a U. S. trip next month, but this so easy and profitable that I want to fix it before it cures itself.”

They say: “Let me check your medical history.”
They mean: “I want to see if you paid your last bill before spending any more time with you.”

They say: “Why don’t we make another appointment later in the week?”
They mean: “I need the bucks, so I’m charging you for another visit.”
