A sweet grandmother called St. Joseph’s Hospital asking about a patient. “Could you tell me how Norma Findlay in Room 302 is doing?”
she asked gently. After checking, the operator happily reported, “She’s doing great—blood pressure’s good, and she’s set to be discharged tomorrow.”
The grandmother sighed, “Oh, thank you. That’s such a relief.” When the operator asked,
“Is Norma your daughter?” the woman replied, “No, I’m Norma Findlay. No one tells me anything around here!”
Grandma Edna went in for her checkup and said, “I feel fine, doctor, except I pass gas all the time—silent and odorless.
I’ve done it 10 times during this visit!” The doctor prescribed pills and asked her to return in a week. When she came back,
furious, she said, “Now they stink!” The doctor smiled and replied, “Great! Now that we’ve fixed your sense of smell, let’s work on your hearing.”
