Nairobi, Kenya -- A Kenyan doctor who removed a bean stuck in the ear of
a young girl forced it back when her parents said they couldn't afford
the bill, local newspapers reported Wednesday.

The Daily Nation said the doctor successfully removed the bean from the
child's ear and then presented the parents with a bill for $5.75.

When they said they did not have enough money, the doctor grabbed the
child, forced the bean back into her ear and ejected the family from his
workplace.

The Kenya Medical Association said it was investigating the incident.

When we lived in Topanga we knew a family consisting of a single father 
and a houseful of young boys. One morning the youngest boy came into he 
kitchen in time to see their cat piddle in the toaster. (Why the cat did 
so, nobody could ever figure out. Never had any other similar problems 
with the beast.)
He went to tell his father and while he was out of the room one of his
brothers came in and tried to make some toast.
Now, at its best, cat piddle is not readily confused with Chanel No. 5, 
and when burned it is far, far worse. They had to leave the windows open 
for days, and the neighbors had comments.
Now, whenever I think I'm having a bad day, I remind myself that today, at
least, the cat didn't pee in the toaster.

It is said that P. T. Barnum, the famed circus magnate, hung a large sign 
over one of the exits of his museum which read, "This way to the egress."  
Many people in the crowds, eager to see what an egress looked like, passed 
through the door and found themselves out on the street.
