Ear Infection Puns

Bat: I'M BLIIIIIND

I had to double check that, it didn't sound right.

"My ear keeps ringing." My response: "Well why don't you answer it then?"

He has been complaining about his ear for the past few days, possible infection. He was saying how he couldn't hear well and how his ear itched but he couldn't scratch it.

"Man, that must be ear-itating"

"Do your homework"

Turns out I have an inner ear infection.

I went to my Ear Nose and Throat doctor for sinus infections, migraines, and ringing in my ears. After a battery of tests he took me aside for my diagnosis.

"I am afraid your problems are all in your head."

"So it looks like you have an ear infection, does it hurt?"

"No not really, it was ringing earlier but that's it."

"Well did you answer it?"

I burst out laughing, I never heard that one before and thought it was hilarious and had to share.

I think I "invented" this joke when I was around 15, but I'm sure others have as well since it's not too subtle. The key, though, was that I waited for just the right moment to use it for the first time.

I had an ear infection, so I went to the doctor, who took a look and quickly diagnosed it and wrote a prescription and handed it to me.

> Doctor: It's just an ear infection, so 4 drops of this daily should clear it right up.

> Me: [Reading the prescription, and seeing the name of the antibiotic, but I may be wrong about the name, so if anyone knows the right name, please reply.] [Completely seriously.] Oraline? So, I put the drops in my mouth?

> Doctor: [Quizzically.] No, no, no, you put it in your ear!

> Me: Oh, I read the name, and "Oraline" sounds like something you'd take orally.

> Doctor: Nope, in the ear.

> Me: [Remembering my dad joke.] It's a good thing that you didn't prescribe me analgesics.

The doctor had no reaction, just said their deadpan goodbye and left. I've wondered if they didn't get it, didn't think it was funny, or had heard it hundreds of times before.

My 18-month old son has an ear infection, his first. I asked the doctor when he might be feeling better, and when he can go back to normal activities like day care, etc. He said, "Well, with otitis media, you really just gotta play it by ear," then walked away chuckling to himself.

I told him my roommate had an ear infection, so he suggested my friend stop having phone sex.
