old man and the receptionist.

There's nothing worse than a receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you in a room full of other patients. Many of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it.

An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The receptionist said, 'hello, sir. Can you please tell me why you're here to see the doctor today?'

'There's something wrong with my dick,' he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, ' you shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that.'

'Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you,' he said.

The receptionist replied, 'now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the doctor in private.'

The man replied, 'you shouldn't ask people questions in a room full of strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone.' The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.

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 wee out of it,' he replied.

The waiting room erupted in laughter.

Yesterday I was at my local Tesco store buying a large bag of "My Dog" dog
food for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue when a woman behind
me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had an elephant? So, since I'm retired and have
little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was
starting the Dog Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because
I ended up in hospital last time, but I'd lost 10 kilograms before I
woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices
and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that
it works is to load your pockets with My Dog nuggets and simply eat one
or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so
it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here
that practically everyone in queue was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog
food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off the kerb to sniff an
Irish Setter's arse and a car hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was
laughing so hard. I'm now banned from Tesco..

Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the
world to think of daft things to say.

Reminds me of a thread on the ADV forum about stupid questions people ask.

Reminds me of a thread on the ADV forum about stupid questions people ask.

Dear sir, there are no stupid questions. Only stupid people.

People who think genuine questions are stupid and they ask the noobs to search search search. If they can search..they won't ask the forum.
Also they asked the FORUM, not YOU specifically. So why are people usually so pissed with these "repeated" questions? Things change. Time change.

And then why are "YOU" sticking around anyway? To tell them to "go search before you ask your question"?

Now who is really stupid?
