An elderly woman went to the doctor one day because she had an uncomfortable itch in her crotch. Worried, she explained her symptoms, and the doctor told her, “It sounds like you have crabs.” The woman shook her head firmly. “Impossible. I’m eighty years old, and I’m a virgin.”

Unsatisfied with the answer, she visited a second doctor. After explaining everything again, he gave the same response: “It’s probably crabs.” “No,” she repeated, growing frustrated. “I’m an eighty-year-old virgin. That cannot be the reason.”

Still itching and still confused, she finally went to a third doctor. She told him her whole story but added quickly, “Please don’t tell me it’s crabs. I’m a virgin. It just can’t be that.” The doctor calmly asked her to get on the examination table.

After checking carefully, he stepped back and said, “Ma’am, you’re right. You definitely don’t have crabs.” Relieved, the woman asked, “So what is it?” The doctor smiled and replied, “This cherry is so old… you’ve got fruit flies.”
