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 obviously 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 some such thing, and then discussed your problem further with the doctor, in private."

The old man walked out, waited several minutes, and then reentered the room. The receptionist smiled smugly and said, "Yes?"

"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated.

The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, acknowledging he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?"

"I can't piss out of it," the man replied.
