Runyon 4x-xx-xx ep15 Blood Pressure

The Damon Runyon Theatre. Once again, the Damon Runyon Theatre brings you another story by the master storyteller, Damon Runyon, and this one, Blood Pressure. And to tell it to you, here is Broadway. Thanks. It is maybe 1130 of a Wednesday night, and I am standing at the corner of 48 and broadly thinking about my blood pressure. Now, this is a proposition I never give much thought to

before. In fact, I never hear of it before I go to see Doc Brennan on this Wednesday of which I speak. Now, the reason I think of my blood pressure goes back to that afternoon.

What happens after that is enough to put me in the rack for good, and I will tell you about it in a minute. And now back to the Damon Runyon Thatter and the comic masterpiece Blood Pressure.

Well, as I am saying, I never think about my blood pressure before that Wednesday afternoon when I go to see Doc Brennan, because I am feeling a little like the lining of a $5 I go to see Doug Brennan and the scene is as follows.

Well, well, well, Broadway. I'm a little surprised to see you here. I am a little surprised myself. But I tell the truth, Doug, I am a little seedy. Oh, in what way? I seem to have something wrong with me, which I cannot get over.

Okay, Broadway, have a chair. We'll look you over. Sure. Diet pretty regular? When I eat it is very regular. Cold? No. No. All right. We'll take a look at your blood pressure. My what? Blood pressure.

Ever had it taken? I do not even know I have such a thing. Well, I'm afraid everyone has it. If he's alive, roll up your sleeve. Way up. What are you going to do? Take your blood pressure.
