UNCOMFORTABLE
A man of cloth went to his physician, complaining of some ugly lesions around his genitals. When told that he has syphilis, the cleric was quite embarrassed by the shocking discovery.
“Tell me Doctor,” – he asked hopefully, –”is it possible to contract this disease in the Men’s Room?”
“It is quite possible” – nodded the physician wisely, – “but not so comfortable.”
MIRACLE
Recounted the middle-aged man to his colleague:
“Listen to this. You know about my bad leg, I went to see the new physician whom everybody recommended and now I am walking again.”
“Is he really so good?”
“No, but while I was sitting in the waiting-room my car was stolen.”
COMPARATIVE DIAGNOSTICS
A veterinarian was feeling ill and went to see a doctor. The doctor asked her all the usual questions, about symptoms, how long had they been occurring, etc., when she interrupted him:
“Hey look, I'm a vet. I don't have to ask my patients all these questions. I can tell what's wrong just by looking at them.”
And then she smugly added:
“Why can't you?”
The doctor nodded, stood back, looked her up and down, quickly wrote out a prescription, handed it to her and said:
“There you are. Of course, if that doesn't work, we'll have to put you to sleep.”
C'EST LA VIE
A man came to the small town clinic with dull red lesions in the genital area. The doctor examined him and said:
“I am sorry, Sir, but you have syphilis.”
“But I just slept with my wife and
“I really don’t care who you had intercourse with, I just state the facts.”
He gave the patient the necessary medication and turned to his next case. A fortnight later, another man came in with similar chancres. The physician found that he too had contracted syphilis. This patient also claimed to have slept only with his wife and
One day, another middle-aged gent appeared with the usual symptoms. When the doctor diagnosed the same venereal disease, the man protested:
“But I only slept with my wife!”
