They always ask at the doctor's office why you are there & you say in front of others what's wrong & sometimes it's embarrassing. There's nothing worse than a Doctor's Receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you in a room full of other patients. I know most of us have experienced this, & I love the way this old guy handled it. An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded Doctor's Waiting Room. As he approached the desk, the Receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?" "There's something wrong with my peter," he replied.
The Receptionist became irritated & said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded Doctor's Room & say things like that." "Why not? You asked me what was wrong & 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 & 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 & then re-entered. The Receptionist smiled smugly & asked, "Yes?" "There's something wrong with my ear," he stated.
The Receptionist nodded approvingly & smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "What's wrong with your ear, Sir?"
"I can't pee out of it," the man replied.
The Waiting Room erupted in laughter.
