A lovely, quiet old lady went to see her doctor with a problem she was worried about. He spoke to her with a reassuring manner and asked how he could help. "Oh doctor, I have a very embarrassing problem. I think it's my stoma. Something seems to be smelling so badly lately, but I can't bend far enough to pinpoint just where it's coming from." "Don't you worry, Mrs. Bellybottom, we'll sort this out," the doc replied. "Now you just lift your clothes slightly and let me examine." "Ooh yes," as he lowers his head, "there's definitely something sme..." "Ahem!" coughing slightly when suddenly, "paarrp!" the stoma retorts, and the doc directly inhales nature's unmistakably beautiful leg trembler and stumbles back into his chair. "God bless us," he whispers and looks at the old lady sympathetically. "Now I think I should make sure it's not a blockage, Mrs. Bellybottom, so I'll just have a quick look." And again, "PPhh-o-o-phh!!!" This caught him off guard, and he gasps, "What the f**? is that? I'll need a second or two, aarghh aahem." As the doc steps dizzily back, he turns and walks unsteadily over to the corner of the room, picks up a pole with a hook attached to the end, and turns to face the old lady who immediately requests, "What're you doing? Don't use that on me, doctor!!" And he quickly says, "Oh no, don't worry. I'm just going to open a couple of the big windows."
