Eye-Ear Doctor
A Soviet journalist walks into the hospital and tells the desk nurse:
- I want to see the eye-ear doctor.
- There is no such doctor - she tells him.
- Perhaps you would like to see someone else?
- No, I need to see an eye-ear doctor - he says.
- But there is no such doctor - she replies.
- We have doctors for the eyes and doctors for the ear, nose and throat, but no eye-ear doctor.
No help. He repeats:
- I want to see the eye-ear doctor.
They go around like this for a few minutes and then the nurse says:
- Comrade, there is no eye-ear doctor, but if there were one, why would you want to see him?
- Because - he replies.
- I keep hearing one thing and seeing another.
