Four doctors who hadn’t seen each other since their surgical1 residencies met at a medical seminar. Adjourning2 for dinner and drinks, they turned their conversation to who makes the best surgical patients:
The first said, for sure, electrical engineers. “You open ‘em up,” he contended, “and everything is color-coded.”
“Nah,” said the second. “It’s librarians. You open ‘em up and everything is alphabetized.”
The third scoffed3. “Of course not,” he said. “It’s accountants. You open ‘em up and everything is numbered.”
“Lawyers,” said the fourth, with a shake of his head. “It’s lawyers, you idiots! No heart, no guts4, no spine5, and the ass6 and the brain are interchangeable.”
