Embarrassing problem An older woman came into her doctor's office and confessed to an embarrassing problem. "I pass air all the time, Doctor Johnson, but they're soundless, and they have no odor. In fact, since I've been here, I've passed no less than twenty times. What can I do?" "Here's a prescription, Mrs.Harris. Take these pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me." The next week an upset Mrs. Harris marched into Dr.Johnson's office."Doctor, I don't know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! I'm passing wind just as much, but now they smellterrible! What do you have to say for yourself?" "Calm down, Mrs.Harris," said the doctor soothingly. "Now that we've fixed your sinuses, we'll work on your hearing."
