Category: Doctors and Patients A PROBLEM OF SEMANTICS

The physician prescribed Mr. Smith some suppositories for his backache and ordered him to take them through his rectum. Mr. Smith was too embarrassed to ask what a rectum was, so he went home and asked his wife if they have a rectum. His wife too would not admit that she does not know what a rectum is and replied that they had one, but their neighbor had borrowed it. Mr. Smith grumbled a little about those damn neighbors who never return anything they borrow and then swallowed a suppository. It was not easy, but with a glass of water, he somehow managed to get it down.

After about a fortnight when his backache did not improve, he went to see his doctor again. The physician found it odd, as the medicine he prescribed was a very potent one. He asked:

“Tell me, Mr. Smith, how did you take those suppositories?”

“I swallowed them, of course,” - answered the man angrily. “What the hell was I supposed to do, stuff them into my ass?”
