Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly.

One student said to his friend, "I'm sure that poor old man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that."

The other student says, "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks slowly and his legs are apart, just as we learned in class."

Since they couldn't agree, they decided to ask the old man. They approached him and one of the students said to him, "We're medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have. Could you tell us what it is?"

The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you tell me what you two fine medical students think."

The first student said, "I think it's Peltry Syndrome."

The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong."

The other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome."

The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong."

So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?"

The old man said, "I thought it was GAS - but I was wrong, too!

You don't have to be old to make that mistake. Sometimes it just takes a night of heavy drinking....

Middle aged occurs at different ages depending on how hard you live IMO. Once you start to "feel" old, you can never trust a fart,................ they must be carefully tested first , then let it rip:facepalm: Or as a friend puts it "let the steam off"

Sounds like it might be a hereditary complaint..... ie it runs in the jeans.

"Middle age" made a dashing appearance when I was 33. I had to have an emergency bowel resection. If you ever see me walking "with his legs spread apart ... stiff-legged and walking slowly..." I probably risked testing a fart :redface:

My 4 year old needs to work on this.

"Son, I want to talk to you." Said dad.
"Yes daddy?" His hopeful four year old replied.
"Over the years, my boy," dad began staring off the pier into the rising sun, "I will teach you all of what I know and what I expect of you."
"Uh ... okay," the confused lad commented.
"Son," he began as he geared up the first proverb he had decided to pass into posterity, "never trust a fart."

*snicker*snicker*giggle, "you said 'fart' daddy." *giggle*giggle:p
