One sunny morning, an elderly gentleman decided it was time for his routine health check-up. Though he felt fine, he figured it wouldn’t hurt to have a professional give him the once-over. After all, staying on top of his health was important at his age. So, he scheduled an appointment with his doctor and headed over to the clinic.

The doctor welcomed him warmly and led him into the examination room. After conducting a thorough physical exam—checking his blood pressure, listening to his heart, and running a few other routine tests—the doctor gave him a reassuring smile.

“Well,” the doctor said, “from what I can tell, you’re in pretty good shape for your age. Is there anything in particular that’s been bothering you? Any concerns you’d like to talk about?”

The old man hesitated for a moment and then said, “Actually, yes, there’s something that’s been puzzling me.”

The doctor leaned in, ready to listen. “Go ahead,” he encouraged.

The elderly man cleared his throat and explained, “After I’m intimate with my wife the first time, I end up feeling hot and sweaty. But after the second time, I feel cold and chilly.”

The doctor raised an eyebrow. This wasn’t the kind of concern he usually heard during a check-up, but he took it seriously nonetheless. Health could be unpredictable, and symptoms like these were worth understanding.

“Interesting,” the doctor said thoughtfully. “Let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this.”

Curious to learn more, the doctor asked if he could speak with the man’s wife. The old man agreed, and soon his wife came in to join them.

The doctor conducted a similar health check-up on her. Afterward, he turned to the woman and said, “Everything seems perfectly normal. You’re in great health. Do you have any concerns or issues you’d like to talk about?”

The elderly woman shook her head with a gentle smile. “No, Doctor, I’m feeling just fine.”

Then, the doctor decided to bring up what her husband had told him. “Your husband mentioned something a little unusual,” he said, lowering his voice as if sharing a secret. “He told me that after being intimate with you the first time, he feels hot and sweaty. But after the second time, he ends up feeling cold and chilly. Do you have any idea why that might be happening?”

The woman chuckled softly, clearly amused. “Oh, that silly old man,” she said, shaking her head affectionately. “It’s not a medical problem at all.”

The doctor looked at her, waiting for an explanation.

She smiled and said, “That’s because the first time usually happens in August, and the second time is in January.”

For a brief moment, the room was silent as the doctor processed what she had said. Then he broke into laughter along with the couple. It turned out the old man wasn’t describing a health issue at all—just a funny reality of their life together.

As they all shared a light-hearted moment, the doctor was reminded that not every problem brought to him was a serious one. Sometimes, it was just life and its humorous moments.
