> There's nothing worse than a snotty doctor's receptionist who insists you
tell her what is wrong in a room full of other patients. I know most of us

> An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded doctor's office. As he
> approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing
the doctor for today?"

> "There's something wrong with my penis," he replied.
>
> The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a
crowded office and say things like that."
>
> "Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.
>
> The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some embarrassment in
this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong
with your ear or something and then discussed the problem further with the
doctor in private."
>
> The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people things in a room full of
others, if the answer could embarrass anyone."
>
> The man walked out, waited several minutes and then reentered. The
receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?"
>
> "There's something wrong with my ear," he stated. The receptionist nodded
approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.
>
> "And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?"
>
> "I can't piss out of it," the man replied.
>
> The doctor's office erupted in laughter
