georgia Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 There is nothing worse than the Doctor's receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you 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 yearold walked into a crowded waiting room. As he approached the desk, the Receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?""There is something wrong with my d--k" he replied.The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded reception and say things like that.""Why not?" You asked me what was wrong and I told you." he saidShe 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.."Man replied, You shouldn't ask people things in a room full of others if the answer could embarrass anyone." The man then walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes"?"There is something wrong with my ear," he statedReceptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?"'I can't p-ss out of it," the man replied.The Waiting Room erupted in laughter.
