"His Balls Haven't Moved in Two Days"

Imagine my surprise while, in the course of explaining to a very sweet 84 year old woman that her husband was in heart failure, was intubated and chemically sedated, and would need to go to the intensive care unit to recover, she interrupted me and said, "You know his balls haven't moved in two days."

Now it may be obvious to you reading this that she meant '"bowels", but it wasn't obvious to me for about three or four seconds, during which time I think an upturning of the corners of my mouth occurred, and I thought to myself how sweet it was for her, at 84 years old, to notice.
