I last heard one a couple of decades back, and there's nothing

my hearing :-)

There's a report in a newspaper that a man in Brazil went into
hospital with an ear problem and woke up after the operation to find
he had had a vasectomy. Be very careful! :-)

But did it cure the ear infection? (I understand they know quite a lot
about nuts in Brazil)

Apparently not the guy was quoted as saying would rather die than
continue much longer with ear ache, I suspect he will soon be an organ
donor.
