The doctor said seriously, "Are you sure? I need your exact age to decide the dose of anesthesia."
She hesitated and said, "Okay… 25."
The doctor explained again, "Look, if the dose is too high or too low, you might wake up during the surgery… or go into a coma."
The woman panicked, "28!"
The doctor leaned in and warned, "If you tell me the wrong age, it will directly affect your kidneys… they could even fail."
Now terrified, she shouted, "32!"
For the final time, the doctor said in a strict tone, "Think carefully… What's your real age? I won't be responsible for the consequences."
The woman threw her hands up and said helplessly, "Fine! 38! And even if my dead body comes out of the operation theater, I am NOT increasing my age any further!"
