A man with a bad stomach complaint sees his family doctor and asks what he can do. The doctor replies that the illness is quite serious but can be cured with a small course of two suppositories inserted into the back passage.

The man agrees, although reluctantly. The doctor warns the man to expect some discomfort, and then asks him to bend over. The doctor then shoves the thing into his behind. The man experiences some minor discomfort but endures the pain.

Afterwards, the doctor hands the man a second dose and tells him to do the same thing in six hours, using rubber gloves and some KY-Jelly.

Later that evening, the man tries to insert the second suppository. Sure enough, he cant reach himself properly to obtain the required depth. He calls his wife over and explains what she has to do.

The wife nods and puts one hand on his shoulder to steady him. She uses her free hand to shove the medicine home. The man suddenly screams in horror.

Whats the matter? asks his wife. Did I hurt you?

No, but I just realized that the doctor had BOTH hands on my shoulders.
