The new doctor during a routine checkup handed an 85-year-old gentleman a small jar and said,
“Take this home and bring back a sample tomorrow.”

The next day, the old man returned… with the jar still empty.

The doctor looked puzzled. “What happened?”

The man sighed, “Well, I tried with my right hand—nothing.
Then I tried my left—still nothing.
So I asked my wife to help. She gave it a go with both hands… even tried using her mouth. Teeth in, teeth out—nothing.”
The doctor blinked.
“And then,” the man continued, “we called our neighbor, Arleen.
She gave it a try too—used both hands, her armpit, even tried squeezing it between her knees. Still no luck.”
The doctor, now wide-eyed, said,
“You asked your neighbor to help?!”
The old man nodded earnestly.
“Sure did. But no matter what we tried… none of us could get the darn lid off.”
Moral of the story:
Sometimes, it’s not about the effort—it’s about the jar. 😄
