Old Aunt Cora went to her doctor

Old Aunt Cora went to her doctor to see what could be done about her troublesome constipation.

“It’s terrible,” she said to the doctor.

“I haven’t moved my bowels in more than a week.”

“I see. Have you done anything about it?” asked the doctor.

“Oh, yes,” Aunt Cora replied,

“I sit in the bathroom for a good half of an hour in the morning and then again at night.”

“No,” the doctor said,

“I mean do you take anything?”

“Of course I do.” she answered,

“I take a magazine.”
