Patients who repeat things indiscriminately can be really funny. A friend's patient had a heavy accent and kept digging in his rectum. People invariably would tell him "stop picking at your bottom" or "stop picking your butt" when they were in his room caring for him. He would repeat it and nod.
So when the attending doctor came in to check how "with it" the guy was and asked him what his name was, the guy looked him straight in the eye and said "stop picking your butt, man!".
