In a long line of people waiting for a bank teller¹, one guy suddenly started massaging² the back of the person in front of him.
Surprised, the man in front turned and snarled³, "Just what the hell are you doing?"

"Well," said the guy, "you see, I'm a chiropractor and I could see that you were tense, so I had to massage⁴ your back. Sometimes I just can't help practicing my art!"

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" the guy replied. "I'm a lawyer. Do you see me screwing the guy in front of me?"
