You might think about this one the next time you have to go to the doctor.

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 you all have
experienced this, and here's the way one old guy handled it.

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 *****," 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 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 **** out of it," the man replied.
