A woman loses both ears in an accident. A plastic surgeon she consults tells her that ear transplants are still in the testing stage, but he will do what he can.
The woman undergoes the operation, and after a time she returns to the surgeon’s office to have the bandages removed and the stitches taken out.
After examining her, the doctor tells her everything seems to have gone well, and she seems pleased with his work.
The next day, however, she calls the plastic surgeon in a rage. “You know what you did?” she screams. “You gave me a man’s ears.”
“Well,” says the surgeon, “an ear is an ear. What is wrong? Can’t you hear?”
“I hear everything,” she says. “The problem is I do not understand anything I am told.”
