🔤 Wordplay
A man told his doctor he broke his arm in two places.
The doctor told him to stop going to those places.
Why This Joke Works
'Broke his arm in two places' means the arm has two fracture points — but the doctor interprets 'two places' as two locations where the arm was broken. His prescription to 'stop going to those places' treats the locations as the hazard, not the bone. Terrible medical advice that's technically responsive to what was said.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Deliver the doctor's advice with calm, professional authority — he genuinely believes this is responsible medical guidance and he stands behind it.
Perfect for:
- •In a doctor's office waiting room with another patient who seems like they'd appreciate it
- •When someone is describing an injury from the gym or sports
- •At a first aid training course when the instructor is looking for a moment of levity
