Miriam's pet schnauzer passed the vet's exam with flying colours except for one minor issue.
"Buffy has a lot of hair in her ears and is probably not hearing things as well as she could. Get yourself some hair remover at the pharmacy and apply it once a day until it clears the passages and she should be fine" says the vet.
After thanking him, Miriam is off to the store to look for some hair remover and as she's searching the aisles, a store assistant asks if she needs some help.
"Yes," she says. "I'm looking for some hair remover."
"Ah, I have just the thing. Here you go", he says, handing her a bottle of Nair. "But just so you know, it's rather strong and if you're using it on your armpits, just rub in a very small amount because it can irritate your skin."
"Oh!" says Miriam, "I'm not using it for that."
"Well then, if you're using it on your legs, you can be a little more liberal but you should still not overdo it because you might get a rash."
"I'm not using it for that either," says Miriam. "It's actually for my schnauzer."
"Well in that case" says the clerk, "you better not ride a bike for a week."
