He went to the doctor who fitted him with hearing aids. This allowed the old gentleman to hear properly. The elderly gentleman went back to the doctor a month later, the doctor said "Your hearing is now perfect, your family must be really pleased you can hear again." The elderly gentlman replied "I haven't told my family yet. I sit around listening to their conversations and Ive changed my will 3 times in the last month!"

Some one gave me a Scotch on the Rocks and I was instantly better". Myself, couldn't help but laugh out loud a little stating, 'You must have had the DT's". Fellow residents were laughing with us.

The day after the proceedure he returned to school. During class, he became uncomfortable and asked for permission to go to the nurse. When he arrived at her office, he hesitated and finally just asked if he could call his mother. Sensing this was personal, the nurse stepped into the hall and closed the door to allow him privacy. Several minutes later the little boy came out of her office and the nurse noticed his penis was sticking out of his pants. "Where are you going?" she asked. "Back to class," said the boy. "But you can't go back like that!" explained the nurse. "I have to," stressed the boy. "My mother said that if I could just stick it out until lunchtime, she would come and pick me up."
