An elderly lady is having a doctor’s visit. She states she has awful gas but there is no sound or odor.
“In fact”, she explains. “I’ve passed wind three times since you’ve been in here.” The doctor writes a prescription and says “Take three of these a day and come back and see me in a week.” The lady returns in a week and is quite angry with the doctor asking “What was in those pills? My gas has a terrible smell now!”
The doctor says, “Now that we have that sinus infection cleared up let’s see what we can do about your hearing.”
Explanation: The humor lies in the twist ending. The woman believes the doctor’s prescription caused her gas to smell, but the real issue was her sinus infection, which had blocked her sense of smell. The punchline adds another layer of irony by implying she also has hearing problems which unfortunately points to her farts with sound.
