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 have experienced this, and I love the
way this 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 dïçﻸ," 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 roomful 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 [censored] out of it," the man replied.
The doctor's office erupted in laughter.
