    But why? Is there some kind of reference to something I'm missing?

    In certain accents, age and H sound similar.

        You're not supposed to soak your memes in water.

              I've heard some either Australian or British or both that pronounce H as something close to Hayche. Using a similar accent, and making it a bit hard to hear by mumbling or something, Hayche and age can sound similar.

              Hayche is of course made up, but that's how it feels to me to write it, but I'm no linguist, and I don't know how to write in pronunciation guides.

                I feel like my previous response kinda covered that. The patient didn't hear "age" and think "oh, when he said age he obviously meant h". They thought "he said h". The word "age" never entered the patient's mind.

                Can you explain the joke; I’m missing it.

                Edit: I get it; you have to sound it out and speak with a bit of an accent and fast. “Age” is supposed to sound like the letter “H”.

                  This might be the worst joke I have ever seen, and that's if it even works.
