A man, quite sick, visits his doctor. The quack tells him, "I'm prescribing suppositories for this, use them twice a day."

The man goes to the pharmacy. He looks at the package, and wonders, what -- ? But says nothing. They were very expensive.

He visits his uncle, and shows him the package. "How do I use these? It says, Insert twice daily. His uncle looks at the contents, muses a bit, and says " I think you stick them in your ear".

"Ah, thanks" He goes home and faithfully sticks a suppository into one ear twice a day until they are all used. But he is still just as sick as before.

He goes back to the doctor: "Listen! I used these as presecribed twice a day, but they haven't helped at all! They cost me a lot of money but for all the good they've done, I might as well have stuck them up my arse!"
