This little old lady goes to the doctor and says, “Doctor I have this problem with
passing gas, but it really doesn’t bother me too much. It never smells and it’s always
silent. As a matter of fact I’ve passed gas at least 20 times since I’ve been here in your
office. You didn’t know I was passing gas because it doesn’t smell and it’s silent.” The
doctor says “I see. Take these pills and come back to see me next week.” The next
week the lady goes back. “Doctor,” she says, “I don’t know what you gave me, but now
my passing gas… although still silent, it stinks terribly.” “Good”, the doctor said, “now
that we’ve cleared up your sinuses, we’ll start to work on your hearing.”
