That's bad, that is a bad joke, that is not funny and doesn't make sense in text form and barely makes sense in verbal from. age and H do not sound the same at all.
There are a couple of ways to pronounce the letter ‘H’ that could sound like ‘age’; one that keeps a soft ‘hah’ sound before ‘aitch’ and one that drops the soft ‘hah’. Both can end up sounding similar to a cross between eight/age depending on how clearly you enunciate.
Edit; Age also has a sharper ‘tch’ sound when spoken in those accents. There are probably accents that use a softer ‘g’ sound

I do not get it :(
"Age" and "H" sound alike, so when the Doc wants to know the patient's age, the patient thinks the Doc wants help with spelling the name.
I wouldn't figure that one by myself, thank you

I agree with you on all counts.
Scottish folk kinda sound like they're saying Age as in H. But it's more Eeetch, and it's still a stretch and still unfunny.
No we fucking don't.
Ooooohh lmao

Age sounds like the letter H so the patient thinks that the doctor wants to know how to write their name correctly.
Age sounds like H? Henry thinks the doc needs help spelling.
I guess it sounds similar in American English at least? For me it'd be “haitch” lol
Not in west coast american English at least. I don't think I would ever mix these up where I live either.
