A 70 year old man went to his doctor’s office to get a seed count. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, “Take this jar home and bring me back a sample tomorrow.”
The next day the 70 year old man reappeared at the doctor’s office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.
The doctor was shocked. “What happened?!”
The old man explained, “Well, first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then her left. She tried with her mouth, first with her teeth in, then with her teeth out — still nothing.”
“We even called over our neighbor, the little old lady next door. She tried with both hands, then an armpit. She even tried squeezing it between her knees, but still nothing.”
The doctor was totally shocked! “You asked your neighbor?!”
The old man replied, “Yep… but no matter what we tried, we just couldn’t get the lid off the jar.”
