Passing Gas...

An older man went to see his doctor. "Doc," he said, "I have been passing a gas for a couple of weeks now and it's strange because it does not stink or make a sound when passed.

It's happening so often, I'm embarrassed to be out in public. It happened a couple of times while I was waiting in the exam room to see you. Is there anything you can do to help me?" After an exam the doctor told him to take some pills he prescribed, and to come back in a week.

One week later, the man came to see the doctor and he was very angry. "Doc," he said, "the problem is no better, in fact it is worse!!! Now I'm not only passing as much gas as before, but it's starting to stink!!!"

"Great," said the doctor. "Now that I've cured your sense of smell, it's time to talk about getting a hearing aid.
