An 90 year old Jewish man was having an annual physical. As the doctor
was listening to his heart with the stethoscope, he began muttering,
"Oh oh!"
The man asked the doctor what the problem was.
"Well," said the doc, "you have a serious heart murmur. Do you smoke?"
"No," replied the man.
"Do you drink in excess?"
"No," replied the man.
"Do you have a sex life?"
"Vell, Yes, I do!"
"Well," said the doc, "I'm afraid with this heart murmur, you'll have
to give up half your sex life."
Looking perplexed, the old man asked, "Vhich half...the LOOKING or the
THINKING?"
