And finally…

Betty’s dog (a Schnauzer) seemed to be having some di culty hearing, and wouldn’t even come when called for food, so she knew something must be wrong.

She took him to the vet, who said the problem was excess hair in the dog’s ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog’s hearing returned to normal.

The vet advised Betty get some hair removal cream from the pharmacist, and rub it in the dog’s ears once a month to stop the problem form recurring.

So Betty went to the pharmacy, and took some hair remover to the till. The pharmacist told her: “If you’re going to use this under your arms, don’t use deodorant for a few days.”

Bewildered, Betty said: “I’m not going to use it under my arms.”

The pharmacist then said: “OK, well if you’re using it on your legs, avoid body lotion for a couple of days.”

An exasperated Betty replied: I’m not using it on my legs, either. If you must know, I’m using it on my Schnauzer.”

“In that case,” the pharmacist said, “stay o your bicycle for about a week.”
