Fructose Intolerance

During my annual health checkup at the doctor this morning, I asked him: "Have you ever heard of 'fructose intolerance'?" He stopped tapping my back and shook his head in puzzlement. "Oh, it's just that walking here on the sidewalk this morning I met a woman dragging a suitcase who said she just got off the bus from Stockton and who asked for four dollars because she was suffering from 'fructose intolerance'. So, I gave her five dollars." We both had a hearty laugh, and he resumed tapping my back.
