"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 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 piss out of it," the man replied.

    The doctor's office erupted in laughter.
