“An elderly woman, bless her heart, shuffles into the doctor’s office with a peculiar complaint.
“Doctor,” she says, settling into the examination chair, “I have a bit of a problem with, well, passing gas. But it’s the strangest thing – it honestly doesn’t bother me much at all. You see, it’s completely odorless, and perfectly silent. In fact, I’d wager I’ve passed gas at least twenty times since I’ve been sitting here in your office.” She gives a small, innocent smile. “You wouldn’t have even known!”
The doctor, intrigued, leans back in his chair. “I see,” he says thoughtfully. “Well, let’s try something. Take these pills, one each day, and come back to see me next week.”
A week later, the little old lady returns, her face a mask of bewildered frustration. “Doctor,” she exclaims, “I don’t know what on earth you gave me, but now my passing gas… while still completely silent, smells absolutely dreadful! It’s truly awful!”
The doctor beams, a twinkle in his eye. “Excellent!” he replies. “Now that we’ve cleared up your nose, we can start working on your hearing!”
I added a little more description to the characters and their reactions to try and enhance the humor. Does that work better for you?”
