Silent Gas Problem

An old woman went to her doctor for a checkup. She complained about having terrible gas. She told the doctor it was very strange because she was constantly passing gas, but it never made any sound and had no odor at all.

"I'm not kidding," she said. "I've passed gas at least three times since you've been in the room."

"That *is* very strange," said the doctor. He gave her a prescription for some medication and told her to come back for a visit in one week. When the woman returned, she reported that the gas problem was no better, but since she had started on the medication, her farts now smelled so horrible that she couldn't stand it. The doctor said, "Good, now that we have that sinus infection cleared up, let's see what we can do about your hearing."
