ER

"He's here again."
"Who?"
"That guy over there. Creepy Joe."
"Oh, joy."
"Yeah."
"Why does he hang around here?"
"He likes emergency rooms."
"Why?"
"I asked him that once. He said it's like what Willy Sutton said when they asked why he robbed banks."
"Which was?"
"He said, 'That's where they keep the money'."
"So?"
"So, Creepy Joe said he hangs around emergency rooms because that's where they keep the pain."
